Harlem Tumbleweed

These massive balled-up clumps of highly mobile filth are a composite of accumulated human hair and artificial extensions that have been carelessly and flagrantly discarded from hair salons and like shops offering African hair braiding services where they roll (roam?) freely down city sidewalks.

Local habitat includes but is not limited to the city of New York's Harlem neighborhood (aka, Harlem, USA). Generally docile, take note that Harlem tumbleweeds can become considerably more aggressive in high winds, during which time onlookers should take special notice, as the potential threat of going airborne increases dramatically during windy weather.

Due to their physical makeup, Harlem tumbleweeds have the Velcro-like ability to continue to accumulate hair, as well as other bits of urban refuse, during the course of their life-cycle.
Dude, you won't believe this: I saw a Harlem tumbleweed fly directly into this bitch's face right as she stepped out of the Manna's on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. It had a used condom and a dirty Band-Aid stuck to it. She immediately burped up $8.84 worth of ox-tails all over the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. It was awesome.

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)

Tumble

"Tumble" is a slang word used by Kenilworthians (those from Kenilworth, UK), and is said when someone makes a joke that nobody laughs at.

The word originates from the way that in TV shows and Films, when somebody makes a bad joke a piece of tumbleweed rolls past.

The word tumble can also be used to describe someone who makes bad jokes, or someone who is generally perceived as a bit of a "loser".

Also, a situation which didn't go as planned can be described as a "tumble".

Other uses of the term include:

Tumble Beg - Someone who makes bad jokes, is perceived as a loser, and begs it off girls and/or begs it for popularity.

tumblefur

Resembling a tumbleweed, tumblefur is made up of the shed fur by common household dogs and cats. If not vacuumed up promptly, tumblefurs grow in size, indefinitely, eventually inhabiting every corner of the house.
The breeze from the living room window sent the tumblefurs rolling across the hardwood floor.
