Do you use the expression 'crickets' - Old Anon

Posted: Aug 18th, 2019 - 6:52 am

to mean silence or no response? I'm from New England and have never heard it except here on MT Stars. May I ask what part of the country you are from if you use 'crickets'? I'm just curious about different colloquialisms.
