Turtle Neck Tension(TNT) 

That awkward feeling you get when a guy or girl tries too hard to come onto you. Usually caused by excessive unreturned flirting, messaging, or facebook status comments.
The following is a sequence of events

Text Conversation

Guy: Hey girl, want to come chill at my place tonight?
Girl: Can't. I have plans.
Guy: It's cool. Maybe tomorrow.
(No Response)

(Later that night)

Girl: Posts attractive facebook picture.
Guy: OMG <3 <3

(Even Later)

Girl: Post a status saying "Had an amazing time with the girls tonighttt! :) :)"

Guy: posts a comment saying "Wish I was there <3"

At this point the girl should be feeling major Turtle Neck Tension(TNT).

Example Sentence: That guy was giving me so much TNT last night!

tard fam tension

The tension that exists between all the tard fam members. This tension is very apparent when all the tard fam members are in the same setting. You will constantly see them taking jabs at each other and also trying to put the other ones down. The idea is similar to tard fam supremacy where each one wants to be the top dog which is why the tension exists in the first place. I don't know if the tension will ever subside but head butting that goes on is always hilarious to watch.
Mike Carlson: I'm projected to get a 30 on my ACT.
Norman "Nick": Stfu, you'll probably get like a 22.
Mike Carlson: I think you're just jealous that I'll get a higher score than you.
Norman "Nick": You're actually a dumbass, 22 is a best case for you.
Mike Carlson: Oh well, still higher than York.
Ray Naker: Damn, the tard fam tension is real

FROM: knowyourmeme.com/memes/tenso

About
The word “tenso” is Portuguese for “tense”. This is a meme that spread through Brazilian blogs and forums, and consists of an image edited to form a sequence that closes up the frame and emphasizes a “tense” face or situation. In form, it is similar to a common vertical 4-Pane, a common exploitable format; although the number of actual frames may vary.

Sometimes the close up reveals something that is not seen in the original image, creating an effect of surprise. In this way, it delivers an effect similar to the when you see it, you’ll shit bricks meme.

Origins
This meme started as a joke in the Brazilian gaming forum “Vale Tudo” (UOL Games). Some of the members of this forum claim that it is inspired by 4chan memes and was adapted to Portuguese language, but it is not clear if a specific meme served as inspiration, or if it was instead the common vertical panel format to which they were refer.

In late 2008 the idea started to spread to other forums and became a fad in brazilian blogs and social medias.
No example for tenso.
