Quaker meeting
Unprogrammed religious gathering
A Quaker meeting is a religious gathering of the Society of Friends (Quakers), traditionally held in silence until someone feels moved to speak.
The phrase extends to any quiet gathering or awkward silence: The dinner party turned into a Quaker meeting after the argument.
It's like a Quaker meeting in here—someone say something!
