1. Something that should never be used 2. When an awkward moment occurr, you place one hand face down in the air. Carely(very carefully) place you second hand on top of the first facing the same way. Your thumbs should now be on opposite sides and you wiggling them in a forward position when the awkward moment happens. By that point, you should probably walk away from whatever you are doing.
