  • vendingmachine commented on the word tumbleweed moment

    (Britain, figuratively, broadcasting) A period of stony, unresponsive silence. See dead air.

    From the motif in western movies where the wind blows tumbleweeds through the scene, usually to establish that the place is desolate or empty.
