I just learnt the cutest French expression, which roughly translates as "there was an awkward pause in the conversation."

It's "un ange passa" - literally "an angel passed by".

Sometimes other languages have the loveliest way of expressing something..

In the Netherlands: "Er komt een dominee voorbij" (a reverend passed by) - we are calvinists after all... ;-)
