failure to communicate 

failure to communicate (n)

Attempting desperately to convey an idea or explain what the hell you're talking about, but to no avail; esp. prevalent between husbands and their wives, or any male and female.
husband: "But it's the Cowboys versus the Redskins Thanksgiving game!"
wife: "..."

This is a prime example of a failure to communicate; absolutely nothing was just conveyed.
