this is said in those awkward situations in a conversation when there is a period of silence. In old western films, a blowing tumblweed was used as a sign of boredom or lack of action. When a conversation turns to silence, say Tumbleweed to break the silence and allow the conversation to continue as before.

(Sam, Kerem & Ashley are engaged in a conversation that stalls.)
Kerem: So....
Sam: (says nothing)

(This uncomfortable silence can then be broken.)
Ashley: (says nothing)
Sam: Tumbleweed.
Ashley: Haha.
Kerem: Yeah, Sam, that was funny.
(See, the conversation is now free to continue as before.)
