awkward gorilla

A gesture performed during an awkward situation. The performer beats his hands on his chest and makes Donkey Kong-esque noises. This is usually followed by staring at the ground and creating more awkwardness or running after an Italian.

I couldn't remember that girl from work's name, so I just pulled an awkward gorilla and ran after a pizza delivery guy.

Awkward Parade

noun. When one is dragged around by a friend, spouse, or another acquaintance at a party or social event and is awkwardly introduced to many different groups in succession of each other.

Joe- Hey Steve, how was your girlfriend's brother's wedding?
Steve- Oh it was a total awkward parade. Before the ceremony I asked the groom's parents if the bride was pretty. Apparently her brother is gay. Then I had to go around and meet her entire family. I was so uncomfortable.
Joe- ...Oh that blows.
