Oh no you di'n't! :-) Seriously this article's tone is a bit, umm, light. Is the awkward silence an actual psychological phenomenon? Group dynamics? Sociology of communications? We need an expert, please.--Nosimplehiway 16:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ways to Deal With Awkward Silences

We should put some up, as a guide for people. The most effective way is to kiss the other person. Since awkward moments are awkward because no one knows what to do, if you kiss the other person, you're eliciting a response from them, be it a kiss back, a slap, or a backing-away. This will lead to further conversing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.116.38 (talk) 17:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural phenomena related to awkwardness

Regarding the awkward turtle, awkward money, gay baby: does this really need to be in the article? As of late, the sections have been removed (mostly by logged-in users) and re-added (mostly by anons) quite a few times. The sections have too much original research to be academically useful, in my opinion. Any other thoughts on this? GracenotesT § 10:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Sections are obviously unencyclopedic and users re-adding them are vandals.RecentlyAnon (talk) 14:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
