Crickets

When you prove someone wrong and they have no response.

My boss screamed at me for not completing an assignment he said he had given me. When I showed him that it was still in his brief case, he went all crickets.

Crickets

The word said to break the silence after an unfunny (lame) joke has been told, usually to place embarrassment on the person who attempted the joke. Sometimes yelled to increase embarrassment.

Person 1: "That's what your mum said last night..."
*Everyone Silent*
Person 2: "CRICKETS!"

Crickets

To have a joke or comment followed by a silence substantial enough to make the chirping of crickets audible.

"Hey, I got your moms phone number, and I called it", "God damn thats crickets"

Cricket

When a person cracks a joke, or says something ridiculous, that really isn't funny at all, or is just really ridiculous, and every person surrounding him/her is in complete utter silent to the point where he/she can actually start to hear non-existing crickets.

Brian: Hey I know what I want to be when I grow up!!
Manager: What now Brian?
Brian: A soccer player!!
Manager: You don't even play soccer.... "cricket"
