the book We're reading, and when the teacher didn't have anything to say, John yelled out, "
Awkward Silence...!"
2.) When John told Jake to f*** off, there was a long
awkward silence between the two of us.
3.) I was talking to John, and when his friend called him into
the other room, their was an awkward silence between my other friend because we didn't know what to talk about.
