What is Awkward Salmon?
1.
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.
Grandma: Damn your grandpa is good in bed.
Grandson: (to his friends)... AWKWARD SALMON!

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.
So...last night I walked into my grandma and grandpa gettin' frisky.
...silence...
Uhh....AWKWARD SALMON *slapslapslapslapslapslap*
