1. Something that should never be used 2. When an awkward moment occurr, you place one hand face down in the air. Carely(very carefully) place you second hand on top of the first facing the same way. Your thumbs should now be on opposite sides and you wiggling them in a forward position when the awkward moment happens. By that point, you should probably walk away from whatever you are doing.
Bruce lee:Yeah, last week, i was taking a piss and i realized i had a wart on my penis.
ChuckNorris: I would do the awkward turtle, but im chuck norris and I'm way too cool for that and it reminds of this one fat annoying girl from high school.

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.

this is the same as your regular awkward turtle except one will flip his hands upside down. this creates a turtle as though it were on its back and unable to move. this may only be used in super awkward moments which happen very rarely in life.
telling a mom joke in a group to someone who's mom is actually dead, and the only person that doesn't know his mom is dead is the joke teller. this situation would invite you to use the super awkward turtle.

Advanced Awkward Turtle
Advanced Awkward Turtle is the next stage in evolutionary awkwardness.
To perform the Advanced Awkward Turtle there are three preliminary conditions you must be sure are in place.
Make sure to find an introverted, lonely looking person. Preferably one that is sitting alone. Also, make sure that he/she has a free hand that is placed on a flat surface, with the palm facing down. Lastly, make sure that the hand is within reach. With these conditions, you are ready to perform the Advanced Awkward Turtle.
First, place your opposing hand directly on top of his/her free hand with your palm facing down and your fingers pointing the same direction. Next, make eye contact as you start to rotate your thumbs counter-clockwise(as in standard awkward turtle). Wait until awkwardness ensues. If awkwardness does not become apparent, follow the next steps.
Decrease the distance between your face and theirs, while increasing the rotational speed of your thumbs.

Billy, the boy who never talks, is sitting alone. Until you walk over and get intimately awkward with him.
A bully is picking on you, so you bust out the Awkward Turtle. A gentle wink thrown in will make sure he will never go near you again.
Works very well in breaking the ice, or annihilate it completely.
