That awkward moment when

A meme-y phrase that was extremely popular back around 2012 due to its versatility. Modern usage is more or less the same, but it is now commonly replaced with the newer phrase "that feeling when".

That awkward moment when you change your Facebook status to ‘single’ and your ex likes it.

Strawberry Awkward

Strawberry awkward refers to a type of awkward feeling. To pinpoint this, strawberry awkward refers to the awkward feeling of being around a friend and their boyfriend or girlfriend. You are pushed aside from the conversation left with nothing of value to include while they enjoy their time together.

I was feeling so strawberry awkward that I put my headphones on when my friend and her boyfriend were laughing together.

I’m doing nothing, it is strawberry awkward so I left them alone and put my headphones on.

awkwardist 

An awkwardist: someone who makes every situation awkward.

He just stood there in the middle of the whole group and started saying weird things about all sorts of people, including some of the people that were actually there. He's such an awkwardist - he does it all the time.

X: Yo, the most awkward shit happened to me last night.

Y: Oh yeah?

X: Yeah dude, I was running around in Chicago when the most awkard looking old guy came up to me and asked me if I had seen his anteater anywhere. It was a moment filled with inescapable awkwardness.

Y: Man, you're such an awkwardist.

X: Awkardist? Maybe I am.

door awkwardness 

When opening a car door at the same time and on the same side as the person in a car next to you. Then you just pause and wait for eachother to either close it or open it all the way but nobody moves at all causing an awkward situation especially if you don't know the other person.

In a parking lot, you try to get into your car and slightly open the door but at the same time someone is trying to get out of their car on the same side as you and you don't know what to do! door awkwardness...
