crickets

When in a social media setting (FB, Twitter) etc... the original poster sends out something and is asked for people to respond in kind. Depending on the political/social view of the original poster or others who are of the same mindset- are posting- then an opposing view is published with reliable facts to back up the response. Then in true fashion when facts don't matter over "feelings" these crickets stop responding because they know they have been exposed.

Hey Mary... I noticed that in my response to your fake article that has ben exposed, you did not respond to the facts I (and others) have sent you to respond to? I am guessing you must just be one of those crickets who just can't use facts over feelings?

Crickets

The deafening silence emanating from Snoop and Mojo upon realization that the emphasis of results during low impact events is a poor indication of the outcomes when the stakes are high.

It was observed that the sound of crickets could be heard from sources in Roblin and even as far west as Calgary

Crickets

Something you say after a long and awkward silence. If something is silent, you would be able to hear crickets chirping, hence the phrase.

Guy: So when's the big day??
Woman: What are you talking about?
Guy: Oh you're not pregnant?

Dead silence.

Guy 2: Crickets
