Tumbleweed 

Pieces of weed that was vacuumed off the carpet, picked from the filter, cleaned, the reused in a blunt.

My husband doesnt let me empty the vacuum cleaner until he checks it for tumbleweeds first.

tumbleweed moment 

The sudden stunned silence that falls on a room after a person says something stupid, unfunny or offensive. Refers to the tumbleweed featured in cowboy movies.

"...until Mrs Bush leant across to ask Condoleeza whether black men really did have bigger ones. The President broke the tumbleweed moment by declaring war on France."

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)

tumbleweed hotel

A retro scene of the style of the past . A fashionable revival of what is cool . A western place you go to stay if you are truely worthy of a conversation with John Wayne or a frequent guest such as Dick Van Dyke or a hang out of Waylon Jennings . Stay here and you leave retro nostagiclly western flash back cooler than you can flash back imagine .

Tumbleweed Tourette's 

A condition where the sufferer is afflicted by telling unfunny jokes, seemingly at random intervals, that fall flat and leave you waiting for the Tumbleweed to roll by... a socially awkward person.

Oh God, his Tumbleweed Tourette's has struck again...

tumbleweed moment 

A tumbleweed moment is when someone says something awkward and nobody says anything for some time.

Person 1: OMG I just got a pet dog, I love him so much!
Person 2: I know right, I love dogs too! They taste especially great in gravy.
Person 1: Um...
Person 3: What a tumbleweed moment.
