Yokes

When a situation or experience becomes "awkward", yet extends beyond a suitable awkward time. Instead of "Awks", one would say "Yokes". Emphasis on the extremity of the "Yokes" is displayed to through an extended pronunciation within the first syllable. eg. "Yeeeeeeeeeee-okes". This may also categorize a lifetime event, or action which occurred through out history.
Person 1: "Dude, at work today it was so awkward. I was chatting to old-mate the entire day, only to realize his headphones were in the entire time, he didn't reply to anything I said." Person 2: "Sounds Yokes as man".

*Standing in a elevator listening to awkward small talk between 2 people over a more than acceptable period of time. My friend then abrupted the conversation and out spoke in a soft deep voice - "Yeeeeeeeeeeeee-okes". The others looked at them in disgust/confusion. It defined the mood perfectly.*

Person 1: "Hey guys, I was looking to buy a 3-way modular Vacuum Cleaner please?"
Person 2: "Ummmm, you're actually speaking to the IT Department"
Person 1: "Oh oops....... Yokes"
Person 2: "Yes, Yokes indeed"
