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"

Alongside Rugby Union, cricket is the original Gentlemans Game. Requiring the most intense of concentration, batter's and fielder's may have to stand in the field for up to 5 days. Extremely difficult to perfect and enjoyed by 9 main nations, it is a time-honoured tradition enjoyed by many.

crickets

People that make a ton of noise when you're not around, but get extremely hush hush when you are present. Hence running their mouths behind your back.

The crickets stopped chirping as soon as I was around

cricketed

Is when you just had amazing sex the night before and reach out in the morning to touch base and receive nothing but silent chirps. You’ve been “cricketed”.

Angela : how did it go with the Russian whore last night ?

Anthony : I thought it went well but I have been texting her and no response , I think I got cricketed.
