Sorry, English is my first language. What is bough? And hiccough? Am I supposed to know these words?

Bough - think of the nursery rhyme "Rock-a-bye Baby" . A big tree branch.

Hiccough - I believe in time we've just simplified this to hiccup.

Woah. I always wondered what that meant in the nursery rhymes, not enough to Google it I guess. Thanks for clearing that up.

No. You no need lots of big words to live life good.
