Someone who transcends awkwardness in social situations, and even can control it and use it to their own advantage. An Awkward Lantern is somebody who can talk to anybody, and redirect any awkwardness in a conversation unto the other parties, by refusing to acknowledge it. Named after the superhero Green Lantern, because whereas a Green Lantern has control over the color green, an Awkward Lantern has control over awkwardness. Although they are rare, awkward lanterns are usually very adaptable and quick-thinking individuals. A true one can be dangerous if not a friend, because they have allies in the most unexpected places.
"I can't believe he got invited to that party!"
"Of course he did. He's an Awkward Lantern."

When a moment becomes overly embarrassing, discomforting or inconvenient for all involved in the moment, except for the person being awkward, as they are unaware of their loserness qualities.
When this moment occurs, in particular in Perth at Uni Games, you are entitled to say the phrase "Awkward. As. Fuck. " You are also allowed to abbreviate this to AAF, so the perpetrator does not know you are referring to them as the person being Awkward as fuck.
Walking into your hotel room and your roommate is lying there naked with a hand towel over his groinal area. "Zac, WTF are you doing! Umm.... awkward as fuck"

Mostly happens around Thanksgiving or Christmas time when you see your family relatives you haven't seen in a year and it's completely awkward and you have nothing to talk about.

when someone is tagged in a picture on facebook that they are barely in, to make it seem like they go out of the house and socialise - when they really have no friends.
