Tumble Fuck

An inept idiot prone to falling over. One who screws up constantly.

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.

telly tubbies

Result of old aged pensioners on acid.

Four round furry creatures, that dance and babble in Telly Tubby land. They are:

Dipsy = green with a spike on head.
Laa-Laa = yellow with curly pig tail on head.
Po = Red with a small halo.
Tinky-Winky = purple with a purple coat hanger on head.

In Telly Tubby Land, the Sun is baby faced, always shining and gurgling. Whie trabbits much verdant grass and never shite. Or maybe Noo-Noo the giant vacuum cleaner eats rabbit shite.

Every half hour every day the windmill turns and flashes coloured sparks, and one of the TV stomach turns on and a little show usu. involving little children doing activity, this happens twice, then they prance about a bit, and they jump back into the dome.
Old Bertie ate his son's tabs and saw some telly tubbies.

Tibby-Tabble

When you're walking and someone is approaching from the opposite direction, you both try to pass on the same side, moving left and right simultaniously, until you have an awkward near-collision.
"This morning I was walking to class and this guy and I tibby-tabbled on the sidewalk for like 10 seconds. It was so uncomfortable... I couldn't get by him. We both laughed awkwardly."

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.
