Tumbleweed moment

The awkward silence that follows a remarkably dumb, over-the-top comment that nobody else in the room seems to understand, find funny or agree with. (Alluding to the "cartoon moments" in which a tumbleweed passes by in the dessert and all you can hear is the wind`s sound)

Person 1: Did you see that news about the floods in South America?
Person 2: Yeah, that was really funny. Anyway I think they totally had it coming.

Everybody else: .......................... (Tumbleweed moment)

mumbleweed

n. a quotation posted onto a blog when things are a bit slow, readers are few and far between and comments are a thing of the past; a pseudo-profound seeming non sequitur designed to fill a painful silence.

'Damn it, no traffic again today. I'm gonna post a mumbleweed. That'll show 'em.'

Tumbleweeders

A group consisting of no less than three hetro-men who choose to roll around naked with each other until they all achieve orgasm. Additionally, these men will consistently proclaim their love for one another.

"Do you see those guys over there? They're Tumbleweeders, loving each other and the media format LaserDisc."

Reverse Tumbleweed

When you're getting road head and come to the realization that it is so awful, you would rather sacrifice yourself and save the embarrassment of finishing. So you politely, yet firmly ask the giver to grab the wheel for a second. It is at this point whilst she grabs the wheel that you casually life the lock on the door and dive the fuck out.

Eric's car was stolen last night after he performed the fabled reverse tumbleweed. Afterwords he was rumored to have said it was a better fate.

Urban Tumbleweed

A plastic grocery bag blowing around the street.

When driving into the city, I saw an urban tumbleweed blow across the road.

Michigan Tumbleweed

A piece of trash like a newspaper or a plastic shopping bag that's blowing along the ground like a tumbleweed.

Bum 1: Hey man, I'm cold, where did my newspaper go?

Bum 2: It's a Michigan Tumbleweed now.

Bum 1: Shit.
