I realize there’s been a ton of arguments about the name, and the current name is better than the one the original post went with, but “oof” doesn’t quite match the sound I think of when I’m thinking of awkwardness. “Cringe” feels like a somewhat better word, although admittedly it doesn’t lend itself as well to verbing. (“Empathetic Cringers” is okay but not great jargon)
idk, anyways the concept itself still seems useful to know about.
