A branch of the awkward animal series (awkward turtle, awkward eel etc...)
In the middle of a party, if an awkward situation arises, lie on the floor and thrash around for a few seconds. It should soon make it obvious that you are finding something a bit awkward.

A piece of excrement -
1. Generally large in size, or of an odd consistancy. Not being able to flush away your waste, or having to strain to even expel it, points to it being an awkward soldier.
2. Also used as an indirect insult, to someone who is hard to get rid of.
