Awk (more than just clipping)

clipping; extended, more common
(adj.) Awkward. Also, generally bad or anything that would be a :/ in a text message (not quite sad, but something negative in the direction of being sad). It's rather hard to describe. Almost always used as an interjection.
 
"I can't go to the party tomorrow." "Awk" "I tried to talk to Esmirelda today and she didn't notice for like a full minute." "Haha awk"
Etymology : Clipping of the word "awkward" and then a widening of meaning. The widening is due to the fact that people have no word for ":/", so "awk" became the word for it in this particular case.
