The awkward turtle high five is a two man version of the regular awkward turtle.

Each person takes part in a regular high five, however, once hands have collided mid air, you keep your hands touching and then you each rotate your thumb as you move your hands upward, almost as if the awkward turtle was going for a swim into the sky.

The awkward turtle high five can be used in situations to overcome awkward moments, or just for fun.
"Dude! Happy Birthday!"
"Um..My birthday was last week."
"Oh. Right."
"Yeah."
"Awkward turtle high five?!?!"

After making Awkward Turtle and the lovely Awkward Turtle makes Babies, if the awkward moment continues to persist (and refuses to be broken with verbal acknowledgment), the right Awkward Turtle Baby gets carried off by a seagull (signified by your hand shaking and floating up and to the right) and the left Awkward Turtle Baby drowns in the roaring tide of awkwardness (signified by your hand shaking and falling down and to the left). Thus killing the awkward moment in it's entirety.
Creepy guy at work: Hey girl...

Creepy guy at work: ..You can bring your boy. I'll pay.

Girl: ............................*Awkward turtles babies die*

When you get a bit sick of the boring old 'Awkward Turtle'

Used by putting one hand on top of each other and gesturing the thumbs forward (signifying the awkward turtle.) Then take your two hands into fists and bang them together (the erm, baby making) and finally keep your hands in fists but take your thumb and pinky out and move forward (signifying the babies.)

Put it together fast and you get it! :D
Boy: Hey, erm I like you.
Girl: I er, like you too.
*Laughs awkwardly*
Boy: Awkward turtle...!
Girl: Awkward turtle equals awkward babies!

similar to the awkward turtle, place your hands on top of each other, except point your palms towards the awkward individual (representing the evolution of the ninja turtles to walk upright) and make punching/kicking gestures with your forefingers/thumbs

One of many useful hand gestures to use when stuck in an awkward situation. Made by placing one hand on top of the other and wiggling your thumbs as though they are flippers.

The dead awkward silence turtle is also fun, made with your palms facing up, and is a much more amusing silence breaker.
Mandy: "Hey how was saturday night?"

Tim: "I had sex with a transexual"

Tim:"Turns out it was your brother."
Mandy: *dead awkward silence turtle"

This is derived from the original "Awkward Turtle". This is a hand gesture performed in the occurence of an awkward moment, usually defined by a long silence. In this particulare motion, the hands are placed on top of each other (as in "Awkward Turtle") and the thumbs are pointed outward and circling forward. Next, to create the "baby turtles", the hands are pounded together and separated and then shaped into smaller "turtles" with the both pinkies and thumbs out and circling forward once more.

It is using the ASL word for sea turtle... which is reperasented by placing one hand on top of the other, palms down, and extending the thumbs outward rotating. The end result should look like a turtle swimming. Use this gesture when a conversation or situation becomes awkward. This is a good way to get attention of friends to either rescue you or the one making it awkward understand what they are doin.
