A term for the period in the year where the media/press (particularly newspapers, tabloids) do not have enough articles to fill the paper/schedule, and so resort to unverifiable, trivial, irrelevant, stupid or hoax stories. Phrase used particularly in British satire.
When reading a newspaper: "'Buckingham Palace corridors are fitted with traffic lights to stop staff bumping into the Queen?' Must be silly season again."

Get the Kendrick Season mug.It's the season that covers October 23 through November 21. During this time, Scorpios are the most active in all aspects especially anything involving fuckin, hurling insults, and/or violence. To make Scorpios happy during this season, you can either join them in hurling insults and/or violence or you must get naked for them if they wanna fuck you. They really love fuckin anyday of the week but they love it a lot more during their season.
