Hay Caramelos? Edit Meaning

1.

An expression used to break an awkward deathly silence.

Originally used at Halloween, when creepy boys would sit on their steps and decide not to respond after the customary "Trick or Treat." The silence thereafter was broken by the spanish phrase "Hay Caramelos?" asking "Is there candy?"

This phrase is also used in the present day now to express acknowledgement of a particularly awkward situation.

"Wendy, this is the woman I dumped you for, Carla"

*Silence*
