When two or more groups of people talking amongst themselves pass each other and making quick eye contact but not speaking, usually among teens. The remedy is laughing loudly or pretending like what you're talking about is so absorbing you just don't notice the other party slowly walking by.

Can take place at different situations-for example when someone farts at dinner,or when u say "Dude,Fuck my boss!!!" and then u realize he's right behind u because of the way your job mate is staring at u...Or when u pass by a person u had the craziest sex with,2 days ago and u both were dopped as hell and then u realized it was your friends mother

The awkward conversation that takes place when two people are walking toward each other, but neither stops, and both are left trailing of half formulated sentences of 'good thanks...' 'see ya..' and sometimes questions are ignored because too much distance has been covered.

That awkward moment when you and another person try to pass by each other in a small or crowded walking space. You know when you step left and they get in your way, then you step right and they do the same.

n.) The uncomfortable phenomenon when two people meet while walking and attempt to pass only to have both persons go in the same direction, thus each continuing to block the path of the other. The occurence is usually brief but unsettling enough to cause grievance and annoyance in one or both parties (or however many are involved).

Also is known as "the get-past-you shuffle", "the pavement tango" and "the thing where you go like 'this'".

The word comes from the book "The Meaning of Liff" by Douglas Admas and John Lloyd.

When you're walking and someone is approaching from the opposite direction, you both try to pass on the same side, moving left and right simultaniously, until you have an awkward near-collision.

Whilst a person is walking, possibly in a hurry, a slower person, perhaps larger in size(fat), is walking in front of them and is blocking any passing opportunity for the walker in behind. This can prove to be very frustrating and often the walker in behind passes the slow one in front and for a brief moment they are awkwardly walking side by side.
