an interesting fact into how I ran into this is that this article is the first link in Guido Van Rossum's homepage [0] where he quotes "gawky and proud of it". Indeed Guido makes a quick appearance in the article and is indeed described as such. I had to look it up: gawky means tall and awkard.<p>[0]: <a href="https://gvanrossum.github.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://gvanrossum.github.io</a>
