Uncomfortable or embarrassing. Scientific evidence has proven that the birth of the word "awkward" comes directly from the invention of the game Truth or Dare.
Poor little Johnny didn't even know what awkward was until he played Truth or Dare and had to tell everyone who he liked.

An emotion of cringe and unsatisfaction.
When you say hi back to someone, only to realise they were waving at the person behind you.
The uncertainty of whether you should wave to an acquaintance you don't know well.
When someone catches you staring at them and instead of looking away you hold their gaze.
Trying to make conversation but neither of you know what to say.
When your friend leaves you with their friend that you don't know very well and you two have to interact.
The uncomfortable silence of two people or more.

Awkward- well "akward" is when you walk past someone you talk to ALL the time and dont say anything. Another example.

A new hipster fad. Apparently inflating your cheeks with air and bugging your eyes out in a picture is cute and "awkward". Also positioning your hands to look like they are clutching your face while your knuckles are bent is another cool "awkward" pose hipsters love.

1. Used in any type of silence, that spans short or long.
2. Used to end a conversation
3. Something you scream in the middle of the public spontaneously.
