A word that just by being said makes things awkward. A word that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Everyone is sitting quietly taking a test, when suddenly, someone yells: "DIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLDDDDDDOOOO!!!!"

The teacher's face turns crimson red with embarassment. It is silent for a full minute, then the class bursts out laughing.

Awkword.

A word that sounds like it means something very awkward but is actually pretty mundane.
Some awkwords:

Justin: Hey, can you help me with French? I can't remember all the dipthongs!
David: Sure, after I finish masticating my sandwich.

Awkward Squad 

Awkward Squad is the name given to that group of people in any organisation who cause problems and difficulties. They are apparently normal, everyday human beings, but when they get together, things just go wrong. They are not necessarily troublemakers, although in some instances they can be, but some strange synergy causes things to go wrong in their collective presence.

The origin of the word dates back to just after the Second World War when National Service was compulsory in Britain for males over the age of eighteen. This meant that all sorts of people, some of whom were totally unsuited to military service, were inducted into the armed forces. That they were unsuitable quickly became apparent, and they tended to be grouped together to keep the clumsy, the unwilling, the careless and troublesome in one unit which became known as the awkward squad
"Get ready for problems, the awkward squad is doing a computer presentation."

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.

Socially Awkward Butterfly 

Someone who can be easygoing and talkative when in situations that comfort them, still jumping between different friend groups as long as they are comfortable. However, this person may also show awkwardness in uncomfortable situations, like talking to someone new or giving a presentation.
Rod: "Did you know that Terry is a socially awkward butterfly?"

Mark: "Really? What does that mean?"

Rod: "It means he's confused."
