Awkward buffer

A person who goes along to a social situation to buffer the awkwardness. Used often when you're trying to get to know someone, but certainly not in the "date" sort of way. Works best if the awkward buffer is a friend of both parties.
Bob: I'm going to meet Maria tonight so we can hang out and get to know each other. Could you come with and be an awkward buffer?

Shelly: Sure! I'm good friends with her, I'll help keep the conversation going :)

Awkward-Annie

(1) A person who is incredibly awkward in their manner or physical appearance
(2) A person who is not capable of being alone with others without making unnecessary mouth noises, looking up constantly, or crying
Wow, that man was very difficult to start a conversation with, he was definitely an awkward-annie.

That poor limping dog looks almost as awful as an awkward-annie

Awkward Sloth Slap

Just like the awkward salmon, only done with three fingers and done very sloooooooowly.
Sneak up behind someone and yell "Awkward Sloth Slap" Gently place three fingers between the persons legs and move them side to side ever so slightly brushing their inner thighs.

awkward octopus

when a person goes in to hug you, and you don't feel comfortable, so you flail your arms and legs and make the moment more awkward.

2 arms + 2 legs + 2 arms + 2 legs = 8 limbs! Thus the octopus
Jimmy tried to hug me today, so I gave him an awkward octopus!

Awkwartunity

an awkward opportunity; usually occurs at but not restricted to social events.

1) A situation when you are so starstruck by the person with whom you have just made acquaintance, that you proceed to fumble words, use 'um' a lot, and are generally awkward.
2) When you are being offered an amazing opportunity but the conversation of details is cut short by an interruption such as "an important call". The conversation is then stopped and is never to be continued and the opportunity falls impossibly out of reach.
3) A typical rom-com meeting situation where you literally run into the person you've had a crush on for the longest time or the person you'll love for the rest of your life (could be same person), you unintentionally expose something embarrassing to them, or any similar situation.
I just met him the other day when I came out of the bathroom and he walked over to tell me that I had a toilet paper tail. We have a date next Friday. It was a total awkwartunity!

Awkward Muffin

For when the turtle won't do and you only have one hand to symbolise an awkward moment.

A motion involving the unwrapping and eating of an imaginary muffin.
Some also include a swiwel and another bite if the awkward moment is especially long/awkward.
"Have you guys heard of the awkward muffin?"

"No."

"Better than the turtle, you can swiwel it whilst you eat it."
