The word used to describe a "joke" that was so bad that no one laughs. Bad jokes such as these generally cause about 10 seconds of awkward silence which can be filled by saying the words "Green Giant" in the same way as it is said on the advert for Green Giant sweetcorn.

Originated on a school trip to Berlin in which the worse joke ever told was about a green giant. Another term that describes the same thing is lead e.g. a lead joke.

Tanc: *Tells and awful joke"

*Awkard Silence/Tumbleweed"
