Question

What does it mean when someone coughs after a remark.

Answer 1

Agreeing with first poster.  A cough after a remark when the person is not sick usually means they are nervous about what just came out of their mouth.

Answer 2

it mean they are being siakastic or rude. sometimes the case can mean they are just joking around.    like you could stand the and go shut up (*cough*) there telling u enuth lol

hope this helps

Answer 3

If they aren't feeling ill, it generally means they are saying something they think isn't appropriate and are "pretending" to cover it up with a cough.  

It is a way of making light of a not so flavorful comment, if you will.
