Awkward?

So some times in a conversation there is an awkward moment or awkward silence. What are we supposed to do in those moments? According to UrbanDictionary.com we should make "awkward" hand gestures. The first one that is recommended is the "Awkward Turtle." Here is what UrbanDictionary.com says "When you're in an awkward moment, place your hands on top of each other, and spin your thumbs forward. Thus creating the creature know as awkward turtle." And what does this "Awkward Turtle" look like?

Oh yeah, let's make an awkward situation more
awkward by making a turtle out of your hands...

If we want a more accurate picture of how to do the "Awkward Turtle" it would look something like this...

AWKWARD!

Another one, which is less popular, is the "Awkward Turkey." It looks a little something like this...

These are probably the coolest people I've ever seen...they know exactly what to do in an awkward silence or awkward moment

in a conversation. They were actually in the middle of an awkward moment when this picture was taken...probably...

One awkward hand gesture that is not as well known, but is by far my most favorite, is called the "Awkward Palm Tree." Unfortunately I couldn't find a bigger picture of it than the one I'm about to show you...but you get the idea.

And if you shake your arms while doing the "Awkward Palm Tree" you

you would begin to perform the "Awkward Palm Tree in Awkward Hurricane."

If you want to use any of these during an awkward moment in any conversation AND make yourself look like an idiot, by all means, use these awkward hand gestures to point out the already awkward situation.

That being said, I really enjoy the "Awkward Palm Tree" cause it is freakin' hilarious and it's even greater while in the middle of an "Awkward Hurricane."
