Urban Tumbleweed

A plastic grocery bag blowing down the street during a windy day in the city.

The urban tumbleweed marked the onset of an impending storm, leaving the onlooker to ponder which grocery store it came from.

When driving into the city, I saw an urban tumbleweed blow across the road.

Urban Tumbleweed

A rolling ball of street garbage. Urban Tumbleweed contains spent 9mm casings, ripped-out hair weaves, empty pizza boxes, used condoms, malt liquor bottles, pepper spray cans and severed fingers.

After she tore out that bitch's weave it got caught up in the Urban Tumbleweed.

Urban Tumbleweed

Any plastic bag or newspaper tumbling around the city. Windblown litter.

Jerry: What the hell's that noise? Plastic?

Jack: Urban tumbleweeds dude, reminds you where you are.

urban tumbleweed

A weave that once attempted to pass for human hair now tumbles down the dusty trails of urban environments.

"Watch out, it's pretty windy and you might get hit by an urban tumbleweed."

urban tumbleweed

just like the rural tumbleweed..

likes to make an appearance during awkward silences but it is a little old man / woman on a mobility scooter.

they have incredible timing and can go up to 12 mph but seam to slow down to be more painful.

while jack was waiting for the pun in his joke to be laughed at the urban tumbleweed made its appearance.. and slowly slid passed.

Urban Tumbleweed

A tuft of pubic hair rolling down sidewalks and streets as it is blown by the wind. Evidence of the homeless adopting manscaping, urban tumbleweeds are often home to fleas and lice.

"Watch out!", the man yelled as he held back the woman, allowing the urban tumbleweed to roll past in front of them and narrowly miss her open toed shoes. "It must be from several blocks away, it's picked up a gum wrapper and lint", she noted.
