Kyodoru

The Japanese slang term kyodoru (キョドる) describes a person who becomes restless or awkward due to not fitting into the atmosphere of the place.

Kyodoru is short shor the phrases kyodō fushin ni naru (挙動不審になる) or kyodō fushin na kōdō wo toru (挙動不審な行動をとる).


Since kyodō (挙動) means "action" or "behavior," and fushin (不審) means "suspicious," the four-character idiom kyodō fushin (挙動不審) literally means "suspicious actions."

Its abbreviated verb form kyodoru is often used as youth slang, which especially refers to awkward behavior or attitude from nervousness, anxiety, or lack of confidence.
キョドる

周りを気にして落ち着きがなくなることや、場の雰囲気になじめずぎこちなく振る舞うことを、俗に「キョドる」と言うことがあります。

「キョドる」は、「挙動不審になる」または「挙動不審な行動をとる」を略したものです。

「挙動」は "action/behavior"、「不審」は "suspicious" を意味するので、「挙動不審」は文字どおり "suspicious actions" という意味になります。

「キョドる」は若者言葉として使われ、特に緊張や不安、自信のなさからくるぎこちない様子や振る舞い、態度を指すことが多いです。
