A cricket moment
When someone says something so stupid or gross that the only thing that can save the conversation is the sound of crickets, like they’re trying to cover up the embarrassment.
My cousin told a joke about his goldfish getting divorced. The silence after was louder than a thunderclap.
The teacher asked why the sky is blue. No one had an answer. Crickets took over.
My friend said he eats pizza crusts for breakfast. We all walked out.
