Originated in the Hudson Valley, New York.
The akward salmon is another member of the
awkward animal clan. It is probably one of the funniest ones out there.
During an akward silence, it works just like the awkward
turtle to relieve tension.
You put one hand flat and then
slap the other hand onto the flat one alternating back-front-back-front etc, to look like a fish slapping on the floor of a boat.
The sound is the best part.
