awkward asian syndrome 

The tendency for an Asian (usually male) to remain socially reclusive in a group of people they are not usually comfortable associating with. Can also be applied as a general term when natural Asian characteristics (not pertaining to physicality) are the source of public embarrassment.

Awkward Llama-tree

Man 3: "You gained self-respect for yourself, and decided to join a feminist group?"

awkward turtle mojo 

Describes the state of constantly being in "awkward turtle" mode; suspecting oneself of being the cause of many awkward moments many times per day.
Girl: It's the first time I kissed a boy, but our braces got stuck together for two hours. Then his dad - who's a Baptist pastor - found us together in his room with our lips locked. We finally got unstuck because his dad ripped us apart. Then in walking home, a escaped monkey pantsed me, and a tourist saw the latter part and looked at me like I was crazy. Then I tripped on a rock and fell into the arms of this really hot guy (with my pants still down).

Other Girl: Man, you got some major awkward turtle mojo goin' on.
