Usage: Awkward, Clumsy, Uncouth. Awkward has a special
reference to outward deportment. A man is clumsy in

view. Awkwardness is discovered only when a person

of ease and grace in making it; when we speak of a
clumsy excuse, we think of the whole thing as coarse
and stupid. We apply the term uncouth most frequently
to that which results from the lack of instruction or
training; as, uncouth manners; uncouth language.
