A facepalm is the physical gesture of lowering one's face into one's hand, usually partially concealing the face. The gesture is found in many cultures as a display of exasperation. It has also been found in chimpanzees and other animals, suggesting that the action is as natural as a sigh or cough.
Internet culture
The facepalm was popularized as an Internet meme based on an image of Star Trek Captain Jean-Luc Picard performing the gesture in the episode "Déjà Q". In Internet discussions, the term is used as an expression of embarrassment, frustration, disbelief, disgust, shame or general woe. It often expresses mockery or disbelief of perceived idiocy. The facepalm is often expressed using an image. Another action as to one slapping their face with the palm of their hand. Barney the purple dinosaur also used the "facepalm" in one of his first episodes entitled "Oh No, BJ!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facepalm
