Virtually Awkward

Socially Awkward but in the virtual space

"The audio kept cutting in and out during the Zoom call and I had to keep repeating what I was saying. It was so virtually awkward."

Awkward Eggs

Basically what came before the more well-known "Awkward Turtle". It still uses hand motions, but in this case, you put both hands into fists and move them simultaneously in a forward, twisting motion of the wrists. This is used for moments that are genuinely awkward, but you'll say "Awkward Eggs" and preform the respective motions, which makes it just that much more awkward. Also used when one wants to point out the awkwardness in a situation, but doesn't want to look stupid by preforming the "Awkward Turtle".
Note: When preforming the "Awkward Eggs", one can increase the awkwardness of the already awkward motions by raising their eyebrows in a "hint hint" manner, such as one would with an inside joke.

As used as an inside joke:
You and your friend glance at each other from across the lunchroom at the same time. Noticing the coincidence, you both preform the "Awkward Eggs" with included eyebrow-raising technique.

As used in other cases:
See "Awkward Turtle".

When a group of people are together and there is food and no one is talking and nobody is eating and one person decides to eat. The resulting crunching is then amplified.

Awkward Pass-by

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.

One group of gabbing girls pass a group of punks on the street, and they both vaguely know each other from the cafeteria but quickly look away.

GIRL: Wow .. . that was such an awkward pass-by . ..

Awkward Bird

A more fun version of awkward turtle. Involves someone flapping their arms like wings and cawing when something awkward happens.

In a restaurant:
Girl 1: Omg, I had soooo much to drink, I got drunk on two bacardi breezers

Girl 2 to Girl 3 behind menu: *Does awkward bird and caws*
