Awkward Dinosaur 

A hand gesture made by placing four fingers on a surface with the middle finger straight out to resemble a dinosaur similar to a brontosauraus. Used in an awkward situation to release the tension. Very similar to the Awkward Turtle. This was created by John Crawford of Crystal River and used in his classroom.
When telling a joke that no one gets, one can sometimes get a laugh by using the awkward dinosaur in conjunction with a "Roooaaaaar"

Mr. Crawford discussing the Constitution "And thats why they call it clause and effect!"

crickets begin to chirp

awkward robot 

Similiar to the awkward turtle, the awkward robot shows up when things are getting uncomfortable. Generally played by a third person witnessing the scene, the awkward robot moves their arms in a slow, mechanical, chopping motion while swaying from side to side. Bonus points for saying "Awkward Robot" in a robot voice.
J. Dog: "Dude! I scored with the hot red head from the Steak and Shake last night!"

Ronnie: "Hey you A-wipe, that's my sister!!!!"

Sadie: "oooo... awkward robot." (makes awkard robot motion)

awkward rock 

A variation on awkward turtle created by hitting your fist onto an open, outstretched palm. The ringing verberation of the contact should accentuate the silent awkwardness. Awkward rock is awktastic.

awkward sea turtle 

It is using the ASL word for sea turtle... which is reperasented by placing one hand on top of the other, palms down, and extending the thumbs outward rotating. The end result should look like a turtle swimming. Use this gesture when a conversation or situation becomes awkward. This is a good way to get attention of friends to either rescue you or the one making it awkward understand what they are doin.
Irving was telling me all about his pet iguana, so i was doing "awkward sea turtle" to get jessica's attention to save me.

awkward starfish 

leve 5 in the "Levels of Awkward". awkward starfish refers to an awkward experience where it takes a minute for the awkwardness to sink in...then all of a sudden, it smacks you RIGHT in the face.
person 1: where do your parents live?
person 2: across from the Chinese Restaurant on 190
(person 1 then realizes that across from the Chinese Restaurant on 190...is a cemetery)
person 2, at the look on their face, laughs.

THAT is awkward starfish.
