When someone needs some... uh... (coughHELPcough) help coming up with an, er... what's the word... (coughIDEAcough) an idea, someone else may be particularly unsubtle about giving the answer. Or an insult or snide comment is made, but is not intended to be heard by someone standing nearby (coughJACKASScough). It's also useful for calling attention to someone's (cough Blatant Lies Cough).
Hey, I heard that!
Anyway, other things that can be hidden between coughs or sneezes are names, as in, "I'm not going to name names but there's one person in this group who's a real pain coughALICEcough," or even entire sentences. Occasionally subverted by repeating the hidden words for clarification, implying that the insult was garbled by a genuine cough and the cougher really just has no respect for the person in question. This is sometimes followed by the other person saying, "Gesundheit."
Someone who is being especially snarky may just say "cough" instead of actually coughing.
Sometimes the cough doesn't hide any words, but indicates complete disbelief at what the cougher is hearing. Rarely, it may be a genuine, instinctive response to something the cougher finds truly egregious.
Rarely related to the Incurable Cough of Death.

In the Underdogs novel Tooth and Nail, Joseph McCormick, who will soon have surgery, says he's feeling better and the others don't have to worry. Jack says, "Cough-cough-load-of-rubbish-cough."

Darth Paper Strikes Back: Kellen writes about an annoying little kid who constantly mocks his skateboarding abilities. Tommy comments, "[The little kid] reminds me of someone. Let's see... a kid who just stands around and complains and insults people all the time? I just can't think who that reminds me of... (cough) Harvey note  Pretty much everyone in the series dislikes Harvey. (cough)."

Rules of Engagement: In one episode, Jeff does this while Audrey is talking to one of her friends, only for Audrey to turn around in annoyance and ask him if he actually believes that she can't hear him if that does that coughing thing. It turns that Jeff really did believe the coughing made his snarky comment inaudible.

The Simpsons:
In "Bart vs. Lisa vs. The Third Grade", the third-grade teacher remarks that Bart came from Krabappel's class (coughSLUTcough).
In "She Used to Be My Girl," one-shot character Chloe remarks that she's slept with numerous famous people, including coughCLINTONcough.
The gag turns up in "Monty Can't Buy Me Love" when shock jock Jerry Rude asks Mr. Burns to reveal his first gay experience. Mr. Burns assumes that Jerry Rude meant "gay" as in "happy" and reminisces on his father taking him on a picnic when he was six, unknowingly making incestuous innuendos.

Optimus' response of "Paperwork" sounds suspiciously like a cough, despite the two of them being robots who don't need to breathe. Regardless, it prevents Magnus from understanding what he said, allowing Optimus to leave before Magnus realizes he has to do paperwork.

In the Doctor at Large episode "Mother and Father Doing Well", doctors Upton, Stuart-Clark, and Collier are trying to help fellow doctor Huw Evans' wife bluff her way through impersonating a nurse to be present when her husband has stitches put in a cut of his forehead. When she pours a tiny dribble of antiseptic into a glass gallipot at the instruction of Prof. Loftus, the surgeon (from whom they are trying to conceal the deception), Collier fakes a sneeze while shouting "MORE!"

The English dub of Lupin III: Part II has Zenigata pulling this twice in a row towards the chief commissioner of the French police department after he turned down Zenigata's request to put a team together to catch the international criminal Lupin because France regards him as a sort of a national icon. Though he didn't know that the chief commissioner was Lupin in disguise.

Charles Ingram of the British Army once won (the original, UK version of) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with the help of a friend in the audience feeding him answers through coded coughs. Although these just took the form of numbers for the options, invariably for the many parodies this spawned he was shown to be using this trope.

In Survivor: The Amazon, the camp has just burned down and Rob Cesternino is sharing his thoughts about it in a Confession Cam. Well, it's possible that the fire started due to the huge pile of wood stored at the campsite when Butch suddenly went on a mad quest to get as much firewood as possible, but no one can prove it for sure and Rob certainly wouldn't want to point any fingers as to who might be responsible for the fire... *cough* Butch! *cough*

Veronica Mars specifically references the trope in the episode "Like a Virgin". After someone took a false purity test for Meg Manning (she "got" a 48, which for someone who hadn't even gone to second base with her boyfriend of years was delightful to the gossip hounds), she notes the many ways she's been teased, including "slut sneezing". Veronica, for some reason, doesn't get the reference, and Meg has to demonstrate by sneezing and saying "slut" as she does so. She seems embarrassed even by this, but does it again as if to reinforce how lame it is, and shrugs. We then see it in action when the other students do the "slut sneezing" while she's auditioning for the school musical.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer does this a lot.
In the episode "Some Assembly Required":
When the Initiative boys complain about Prof. Walsh sending them to look for Spike on Thanksgiving, Riley insists that Spike knowing about them means he's still a threat even with his Restraining Bolt.
In a later episode, Buffy is tearing into the Watcher's Council about their actions. While she is on the topic of getting Giles re-instated as a Watcher, Giles throws out a *cough* "retroactive" when his salary is mentioned.
And from the season after that, this exchange between an active vengeance demon and a former one:

Parodied in the Family Guy episode "And I'm Joyce Kinney". It's exposed that Lois was once in a porno. At church, her peers do this trope, calling her things like "sinner" and "harlot". All except the last man, who says "*cough I'm actually sick*".
Also parodied in "Stew-Roids". A Running Gag is that one of Chris's newfound friends mocks others by calling them "gay", despite himself obviously being attracted to his male classmates. Later,Connie D'Amico loses her popularity status, and the group insults her for it in-between fake coughs. His contribution is "*coughs* Everyone is gay but me."

Val Kilmer coughs "bullshit" when Tom Cruise is describing his upside-down hijinks (with a Russian MiG, pervs!) in Top Gun.

In The Golem's Eye from The Bartimaeus Trilogy, when Nathaniel ignores him, Bartimaeus coughs out "A-hem" and then "A-thaniel" to get his attention. (Nathaniel goes by "John Mandrake," as nobody is supposed to know a magician's real name.)

In one episode of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall coughs out an entire sentence - a sentence about how he's insinuating something about Robyn and he isn't really coughing.
Also:
Another time, Barney takes it to extremes when discussing Zoe's description of her cousin Honey (played by Katy Perry):

A lovely example of the disbelieving cough occurs in 1632, when the Scots cavalrymen who don't yet fully grasp what late-20th-Century firepower can do are stunned that the Americans want them to be ready to pursue an enemy force.

Friends had it at least twice: when Monica's correcting the title Ross was buying at the comics shop as a kid ("Seeing what kinda trouble Spider-Man got into that week" "*cough* Wonder Woman") and once when an old hater of Rachel reacts to her table manners ("*sneeze* Typical")

Was something of a running gag in the early episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch whenever Mr. Kaft was announcing something. A random student would cough "Loser".

Folding Ideas: In his The Disaster Artist vlog, Dan Olson, who had previously done a two-part video excoriating the "Cremaster Cycle" of movies, describes certain movies as being "a boring slog for...an hour and a half. Two hours. Four hours. Six hours (cough)Cremaster(cough)."
