that the idea is that the silence is so deafening (another idiom) that you can hear the crickets. Two additional bits of trivia. Buddy Holly's group was named The Crickets – and the Beatles reported that this inspired the name of their group. When Holly's
first album, "The Chirping Crickets," was recorded, there was a live cricket chirping in the studio that eluded attempts to catch it. Its chirping can be heard as the song "I'm Gonna Love You Too" fades out. And finally: did Walt Disney know that "Jimminy
Cricket!" was a euphemism for "Jesus Christ!"? I always understood that he was quite devout and strait-laced, so this has puzzled me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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."<o:p></o:p></p>
