refer to situations or circumstances wherein you find yourself feeling awkward towards a person whom you don't know personally or you're not close to BECAUSE of something you know about him or her.
Situation:
Person A and Person B works for the same company. They know each other by face and name.
Person C is the bestfriend of Person A.
Person C tells Person A that Person B is actually THE ex-girlfriend or ex-lover of her current boyfriend whom she suspects is still madly in love with Person B.
One morning, Person A meets Person B in the comfort room of the office and there was awkward silence.

Similar to the popular term "Happy salmon" the Awkward salmon is the act of placing your hand between another individual's legs and just holding it there without moving your hand back and forth in the happy salmon motion. The Awkward Salmon quickly escalates the awkwardness level of the happy salmon.
"Dude, he totally just gave me the awkward salmon, wasn't even the happy one...just straight up, awkward."
