awkward salmon
A gesture used to relieve the tension of an awkward situation.
The awkward salmon is usually performed when sitting, although it can be done standing. The person spreads his legs slightly apart and puts his hand in between them close to the knees. Then he rapidly moves his hand back and forth slapping each leg to simulate the sound of a salmon flopping around on the ground.
The awkward salmon can become even more awkward (and a lot funnier) if a person sneaks up behind another person and performs the awkward salmon on the victim.

Awkward Salmon
Similar to the popular term "Happy salmon" the Awkward salmon is the act of placing your hand between another individual's legs and just holding it there without moving your hand back and forth in the happy salmon motion. The Awkward Salmon quickly escalates the awkwardness level of the happy salmon.
"Dude, he totally just gave me the awkward salmon, wasn't even the happy one...just straight up, awkward."

Originated in the Hudson Valley, New York.
The akward salmon is another member of the awkward animal clan. It is probably one of the funniest ones out there.
During an akward silence, it works just like the awkward turtle to relieve tension.
You put one hand flat and then slap the other hand onto the flat one alternating back-front-back-front etc, to look like a fish slapping on the floor of a boat.
The sound is the best part.

womp
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
