Shoof

The act of awkwardly attempting to blend in with a crowd, only to be noticed by the wrong person. It usually results in a humiliating situation where the offender receives unwanted attention or becomes the center of a bizarre anecdote.

Examples:

• " After the party, James felt he had a major shoof moment when the creepy old man in the corner asked him for directions home "
• " She tried to shoof her way onto the dance floor but ended up bumping into the ex-boyfriend she swore off years ago "
• " During the debate, John's shoof phase caused a snowball effect of awkward glances as people pointed and chuckled "
