Lady Chevalier's definitions
Used to point out or emphasise silence. (Well, not precisely silence, since chirping crickets make sound. But you get it.)
The idea is that you can only hear crickets when there are no other sounds, such as conversation or laughter. Often used to denote the awkward pause after a bad joke.

Joe: ...Oh, come on. That was funny.

Taking from "the new black," (a phrase originally meaning "the latest, hottest trend in fashion"), the new monkey works on the idea that for several years now monkeys have pervaded every corner of the internet--as mascot, icon, part of a slogan, or in some other aspect.
"The new monkey," therefore, would be the next big thing.
Usage note: "The new monkey" refers to things that are in some way parallel to monkeys. Thus, bananaphones could be "the new monkey," but the bananaphone flash movie could not.
For this reason (lack of a parallel), All Your Base is not the new monkey. Neither are monkeys the new AYB. (I suppose it could be argued that the Banaphone flash movie is the new AYB, but we all know that's simply not the case.)

Get the the new monkey mug.Label a pubescent girl affixes to herself in order to appear sexually trendy.
Of all non-heterosexual "orientations," bicurious has the fewest long-lasting repercussions and is therefore adopted by girls who wish to appear different or exciting to males their age.
Bicurious girls are not interested in females (if they were, they would actually call themselves lesbian or bisexual); instead, they wish to attract young men who find the prospect of potential girl-on-girl action incredibly hot.
To be fair, the term is also used by lesbian and bisexual girls who are still uncomfortable with their sexuality, or who are testing the waters before coming out to their friends or family.
