'Un ange passe' is a French phrase for 'There's an awkward silence, An awkward silence has fallen over the room.' The French expression un ange passe is used to describe a sudden, unexpected break in conversation due to some kind of awkwardness or embarrassment. The question is, is the angel the cause or the effect of the silence? On the one hand, maybe the fact that an angel is passing is what causes the conversation to dry up. On the other, it could mean that the angel is aware of the awkwardness and is passing in order to try to smooth. Un Ange Passe Bets Lundeen
