Awkward Toro 

A handmovement developed as an alternative to the Awkward Turtle while a group of teenagers lived in Spain for a month on a Study Abroad program.

The Awkward Toro is formed by forming all fingers into a fist except for the two index fingers and then wiggling both fingers around the temple area of one's skull, as if simulating a bull's horns.

I think I accidentally told my Spanish Family that I have herpes...awkward toro moment.

awkward mittens

level 2 in the "Levels of Awkward". Mittens are just a little bit more awkward then turtles. I mean, think about it...essentially, you're left with one giant, flipper-like finger, and then a thumb, just kinda hanging out there in space. Awkward mittens is done by holding your hands up, facing out, with all the fingers together, and spinning the thumbs.

An example of an awkward mittens moment:

When your friend sees a picture of you and says, "Wow...you didn't have to make yourself look more ugly then you already are."

Awkward How are you? text conversation 

It is the epitome of a text conversation that leads to no productive result at all. Very short and point less. It might seem like the person texting you wants to chat with you, but in reality it just leaves you with an awkward silence.

Person A: Hey, what's up? You called.
Person B: Yeah. Nothing, just wanted to see how you were doing.
Person A: I'm fine thank you! How are you?
Person B: I'm fine.

awkward "X" 

Awkward "X" refers to any word or phrase created as an alternative to the "awkward turtle." This is often done to try to enhance the funny of the original idea, or to rank the new word in reference to awkward turtle, but tends to end up being a painfully obvious "third joke."

"Seriously, awkward turtle was pretty damn funny when the person first came up with it, but now people are trying to keep the funny on life support but end up third joking the shit out of it...the advent of the awkward "X"."

Awkward dog, awkward monkey, awkward military junta, awkward pork chop, etc etc etc.

awkward salmon 

Originated in the Hudson Valley, New York.

The akward salmon is another member of the awkward animal clan. It is probably one of the funniest ones out there.

During an akward silence, it works just like the awkward turtle to relieve tension.

You put one hand flat and then slap the other hand onto the flat one alternating back-front-back-front etc, to look like a fish slapping on the floor of a boat.

The sound is the best part.

So...last night I walked into my grandma and grandpa gettin' frisky.

...silence...

Uhh....AWKWARD SALMON *slapslapslapslapslapslap*

Awkward Hunch 

In an awkward situation, this is a position one makes by putting his/her head down while the mouth is closed and the lips are crunched together firmly. This position is quick and easy and works well in any situation whether it be just a little awkward or really awkward.

Example #1 - (Ryan and Stephanie run into each other in the grocery store line)
Ryan - "Hey how have you been?"
Stephanie - "Great! you?"
Ryan - "Oh good we should hang out sometime."
Stephanie - "Yeah I know it's been a while i'll call you sometime"
Ryan - "Sounds good!"
(5 seconds of silence)
Ryan - *Awkward Hunch*

Example #2 - (Ryan has dinner with his friend James, James's parents, and James's girlfriend Stephanie)

James - "So I found out Ryan slept with Stephanie, isn't that good to know everyone?!?
Parents - *Shocked faces*
Stephanie - *Argues back*
Ryan - *Awkward Hunch*
