Oh—thank you Jeanne. Even after 40 years living in the USA I still cannot claim to be fluent in American!

Hi Jeremy, That means "to silence" (on the part of humans)--there was no reaction--only the sound of crickets. On my university campus, in North Carolina, I've heard variations of this expression frequently in the past few years, 

Hi Jeremy,

 

That means "to silence" (on the part of humans)--there was no reaction--only the sound of crickets. On my university campus, in North Carolina, I've heard variations of this expression frequently in the past few years, especially when it comes to teaching; e.g., my lecture was met by "crickets."

 

Best,

 

Jeanne
