Awkward Turtle

A word used to discribe the gesture made by your hands after a line or series of lines have been spoken that have now resulted in an uncomfortable silence. The person executing the "Awkward Turtle" is basically, jerking there hands around in rougly the shape of a turtle, unable to speak. And silence ensues

The evening was going smoothly until Merc had to go and tell us his dad used to lock him in a closet when he was bad. Silence ensued. Darrow began to make the "Awkward Turtle" with his hands, and the rest of us stared anywhere but at Merc.

Awkward Turtle

Well known saying for when you make an idiot of yourself. Sadly the hand gesture you make for this Awkward Turtle, is actually the american sign language sign for 'platypus'

"That's not a awkward turtle you moron, that's a platypus"
"shit."

awkward turtle

The "Awkward Turtle" is used during the present moment of a situation at hand. You may use it under the table at a diner outing to relieve some of the awkward tension, or on your way to the restroom as you excuse yourself from the awkward moment. The Awkward Turtle is also used in conjunction with the Awkward Antlers when re-telling the aforementioned events.

In the Situation: As you hug your Ex, you do the awkward turtle behind his back.

Awkward turtle dive

Like the awkward turtle , but used when the situation is made even more awkward by further input either by yourself or someone else in the conversaton.

You make the same turtle hand formation as before, but make your hand turtle take a dive.
