awkward arm 

That arm that has nowhere to go when cuddling, spooning or sleeping next to someone else. It usually leads to wishing arms could be pulled off and then put back on afterwards.
*after trying to settle into a comfortable spooning position* uh oh, it's the return of AWKWARD ARM!!!

Awkward Arm 

Just an awkward arm with nowhere to go. It normally comes into play during spooning, when you are the big spoon. When you spoon, you're on one side, laying on one arm. The top arm is usually wrapped around your partner. The other arm is squished and uncomfy.
Things to do with your awkward arm:
1.) Massage your partner
2.) Stick under them. and wrap around
3.) Grab his/her butt
4.) Guys: Cover your boner!!
*To your little spoon:
One sec, I have to move my awkward arm.

awkward arm 

The real problem though is that those who are awkward around girls over-think the spooning issue and assume there's a problem (this is a larger issue as the result of movies such as Mallrats). There is in fact no problem, assuming the dude is the big spoon. The dude, assuming he is a left-leaner, need only put his right arm over the chick, his left arm under her through the natural crook created by her neck, clasp the arms together through the boobs and be safe. D'uh. Fucking tards.
Dude #1: Schwoah brah, I just realized that there's no need to amputate my awkward arm, the real issue is that I'm just awkward!

Dude #2: Yeah dude, suicide's really the only option for you.

Awkwardarian 

n. a person who is an awkwardarian
adj. of or relating to awkwardarianism or awkwardarians

An awkwardarian is a person who claims they are a vegetarian, but who does eat meat provided it's high quality, for example a Chateaubriand but doesn't eat some common meat-substitutes used in vegetarian dishes. For example, mushroom, avocado, beans, and artichoke are often used in vegetarian burgers, vegetarian lasagne or other meat dishes which have been modified for vegetarians. (Such offerings are typical of restaurants which are making minimal effort to include vegetarian-friendly options on their menu instead of coming up with quality vegetarian meals).

The combination of a lack of desire to eat meat or meals where a common alternative is a predominant ingredient means the awkwardarian significantly reduces their choices. A menu with several dozen starter and main meal choices can easily be reduced to just two options which are acceptable to the awkwardarian.

The awkwardness impacts the friends and family of awkwardarians who despite loving the awkwardarian, often find the choice of restaurants being whittled down, including eliminating some establishments which had some interesting meal options.

Dedicated awkardarians can reduce a Chinese (or Indian) restaurant menu (both of which often have considerable choice for vegetarians) down to just a few options.
The restaurant has an extensive menu but because they're an awkwardarian they could only find one meal they would eat.

We found eight interesting restaurants on holiday but because of the awkwardarian we could only eat at one of them.

The menu had a half dozen vegetarian meals on it but the awkwardarian wouldn't eat any of them because they all contained mushroom.

The place was fantastic, even the awkwardarian found four meals they would eat.
