Awkward Cactus

The action of holding both arms out in upside down 90 degree angles (like a cactus with upside down arms 🌵) during an awkward or uncomfortable situation when you don’t know how else to respond. Usually paired with an uncomfortable smile 🙃. This is especially used by socially awkward people.

Friend: you look cute today.
Me: 🌵🙃
Friend: you look like an awkward cactus

Captain Awkward

Boys who fail to remail chill after hookups but prefer to run out of the room and pretend you don't exist.

There I was drinking a keg in Capt. Awkward's room, when the boy came in and had to leave without any more beer because of his sketchy awkwardness.

awkward turkey

Cousin to the awkward turtle (official mascot of the awkward moment) As the awkward turtle is recognized by a hand gesture, so is the awkward turkey. You hold your four fingers from one hand up behing the fist of your other hand. The hand with the fist will then stick its thumb out and wiggle it around. Go ahead, give it a try, and show it to your friends. Its awkward.

Hey lover, I have some thing to tell you, sorry I just gave you aids......At this moment you could have the awkward turkey run in.
