The new "hip" thing to say in a Facebook status update. Wildly used out of context by students and young English people in an attempt to stand out from all the everyday statuses that appear on the proverbial news feed.
CORRECT example. "That awkward moment when you're facing an old flame/work colleague on a train/bus and attempting to avoid eye contact."
WRONG example. "That awkward moment when you realize you've woken up late for a lecture"
That's not awkward, that's just laziness.

A phrase that prefaces a Facebook status update that uses the word awkward in the same way most people use the word irony (read: incorrectly). Essentially, "awkward moments" are never awkward.
Person A: That awkward moment when you realize you will die alone
Person B: That's not awkward, that's sad and soul crushing.
As you can see, Person B is well read and has a firm grasp on the definition of the word awkward and that awkward moment when, Person A on the other hand is a sad plebeian who hasn't come to such realizations.
