pass the peas

a jazz term where the lead or solo is passed in a circle around the musicians, with each musician getting a solo break while everyone else backs them. Usually at the end of each solo the musician performing will announce that he is done by replaying the primary melody of the song, signifying a change coming up.

I saw that great band the other night pass the peas. The drummer killed it. The bass player played with his face, and the guitar player lit his amp on fire.

pass the peas

What you say to someone when trying to avoid talking about the elephant in the room.

After seeing the look on Grandma's face when Jim announced that he and Mark were getting married, I turned to my brother and asked him to pass the peas
