It's wrong because that's an ok turtle. Awkward Turtle is the palms up and more flailing of the thumbs. But don't worry. Most people on youtube are showing it the wrong way also.
OH MY FLIPPING GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE THIS IS NOT THE AWKWARD TURTLE?! Well WELL DONE YOU. You have successfully spread the disease that is doing-it-wrong-itus to almost 200,000 people.
THIS, my friends, IS THE SIGN LANGUAGE FOR TURTLE.
The actual awkward turtle is done at an AWKWARD angle, with only ONE THUMB rotating at any one time.
I used to think it was amusing, but useless. Surprisingly, when I used it on my friends, they all roflmao-ed at it. I guess it depends on the situation or on when/how you deliver it.
we had a new teacher that came from Michigan last year and he did that and us being Kansans were like ummmm WTF lol awkward turtle moment while doing awkward turtle it was funny though
its funny because when a conversation among multiple people becomes awkward and you do this they all stop and awkwardly watch your hand for 5 minutes top and they you all awkwardly walk away like nothing happened
CHRISTOFER DREW DOES THE AKWARD TURTLE! ohmygoshh. i did that in the middle of my math class and my friends and the teacher and me all start laughing hysterical. we were like, about to cry we were laughing so hard just because of the akward turtle! oh Mr. Akward Turtle, you are truely HALARIOUS!
with only 2 legs, it really is an awkward turtle.
