- John Gibson Lockhart, Don Quixote, Chapter XLIII.
  "Be careful not to chew on both sides, nor to eructate before anyone." .' Eructate ? " quoth Sancho ; "I do not understand that."—" To eructate," answered Don Quixote, " is as much as to say, to belch ; but this being one of the most beastly words in our language, though very significant, the more polite borrow from the Latin, and instead of belching, say, eructating.
