They will be gone. You are actually stretching the muscle that is having contractions and thus causing the hiccups. Though your tongue will feel a bit weird briefly afterwards.

What a lot of nonsense
Your tongue is not responsible for your hiccups.
The trick here is that you are concentrating on gripping your tongue and counting to twenty. It's a DIVERSION.
Another trick that works when somebody else has the hiccups, is to ask them what they had for dinner. Then ask them what they had for dinner yesterday, and the day before.
At some point they'll have to think hard about what they had.
Ask one more day and then ask them if they still have hiccups.
I bet you it's gone. It worked every time I tried it on somebody.
Mind you, it only works once per person, then they're on to you
It works because it's a diversion. They have to think and concentrate on something else and their breathing changes.
