That Awkward Moment When...

....somebody says it and the moment isn't even awkward...
I have noticed that people use the phrase "That awkward moment when..." very frequently, and it has begun to annoy me greatly. Most of the time when someone says this, the situation that follows isn't even awkward... That's like saying a joke is funny when everyone in the room knows that it wasn't a bit funny. Do the people that use that expression incorrectly not know what the word awkward means?? Sure, the situation might cause a teeny, tiny bit of discomfort, but more than likely, not awkwardness. And sometimes people won't even say "that awkward moment when..." they'll just declare something to be awkward when it isn't. Is it just me or do people way overuse certain words sometimes?? Awkward is definitely one of these overused words...
Here are a few example off of Pinterest of things that really aren't awkward:
This is definitely not awkward... It happens to everyone. It's just an everyday occurrence, not awkward at all.













This situation isn't awkward either... unless someone else is around. But if suddenly bursting out in tears without cause is something that happens often for you, you should probably see a doctor, because you may have some problems...










And then there's this... How could anyone even think this is awkward?? Yes, it may happen, and when you think about it, you may find it weird, but it's definitely not awkward!! C'mon, really?
