            People that make a [ton] of [noise] when youre not around, but get extremely [hush hush] when you are present. Hence running their mouths behind your back.

              The word said to [break the silence] after an [unfunny] (lame) joke has been told, usually to place [embarrassment] on the person who attempted the joke. Sometimes yelled to increase embarrassment.

                To have a joke or comment followed by a silence substantial enough to make the [chirping] of [crickets] [audible].

                  Quietness that is unexpected or sudden. Especially when [the audience] doesnt understand. A time when youd expect only to hear [crickets], due to the silence. A slow lonely time
                  You could hear a [pin drop].

                      @sommer Well in TV shows/cartoons, the sound of "crickets" is when no one has a logical answer.
