Undesirable social situations – like accidentally inviting your friend and her ex-boyfriend to the same party, even though they’re totes not talking; or running into someone you know at the sexual health clinic – are awks. Gerald, the uber-geek from the accounts department who looks like his mother still dresses him, could also be described as such.
“Jennifer Aniston was sat near Brangelina at the Golden Globes. Totes awks.”
We like to expand on this with the use of ‘Mawks’ for the worst of these situations – Majorly awkward
Thanks for the tip.
