Awkward Tornado

- Used an awkward turtle can't/won't break the awkwardness of a situation.

- Person verbally states that the current situation is an "awkward tornado."

- If used correctly, the awkward "cloud" should disappear, and the members of the situation should begin to converse, thus eliminating said awkwardness.

Silence*

Person #1: Dude, its like an awkward tornado in here

Persons #2, 3, 4, 5: Ah, yes it is

*Conversation begins.

Awkward Turtle

The universal symbol of the awkward moment, made by placing one open hand over another and wiggling the thumbs around in a circle to imitate a turtle turned on its back. Awkward!

I used the phrase "if you can't do it teach it" infront of my girlfriends mum... shes a teacher. It was definitely awkward turtle.
