awkward palm tree

a member of the "awkward objects" community of phrases.

formed by the relaxed and smooth crossing of the wrists featuring the somewhat vertical placement of the arms to form the trunks of the tree. the fingers are then free to move as though they are blowing in the awkward wind.

my personal favorite "awkward" is the awkward palm tree.

awkward "what?"

When someone is talking to you and you don't hear them so you say "What?" and they repeat themselves but you still don't hear them so you say "What?" again and they repeat themselves again but you still don't hear them so you just smile and nod.

"How do you do this math problem?"
"What?"
"How do you do this math problem?"
"What?"
"How do you do this math problem?"
... smile and nod... "Oh, ok..."

Awkward Fist

You twist your thumb, unnaturally behind your pointer finger knuckle, to the point where your thumb can go no further. Then you make a fist with the rest of your fingers, and it looks absolutely awkward.

Person 1: Hi, my knee is really killing me today.

Person 2: Man my head is killing me, we drank too much last night.

Person 3: Wow, my ass is really sore from all that butt sex.

Person 1 and 2: *awkward fists*

Awkward Salt Shaker

In common usage in essex. When an awkward or tense situation arises, all tension can be examplified with this gesture, in which both hands are made into fists, placed on top of each other and rotated in opposite directions as in a salt grinder.

Man 1: Dude she's hot.

Man 2: That's my mum.

Silence.
