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

when one of two parties are speaking on the telephone past ten p.m. when one of the parties asks a question that could or could not be life changing. the opposite party reacts in a way that could only be described by the sounds of crickets.
