When the "awkward turtle" does not suffice your awkwardly needs, just remove a shoe, and place it in the center of the awkwardness aroma. Thus, relieving all scents of awkwardness.
Someone brought up the topic of marriage, I then proceeded to take off my right shoe, (my awkward shoe) and placed it in the center of the group. It caused the awkwardness to go away. Like magic.
