Facepalm

Siccome giorni fa persone della Empoli bene mi hanno chiesto cosa fosse un facepalm (e questo sarebbe già un facepalm di per sé):

"A facepalm is the physical gesture of placing one's hand flat across one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands. The gesture is found in many cultures as a display of frustration, embarrassment, shock, or surprise.
The gesture itself is not of recent origin, and although common, is not culturally universal. However, the word "facepalm" itself, a compound of "face" and "palm", may have originated as recently as 2008. It has since been popularized as an Internet meme based on an image of the character Captain Jean-Luc Picard performing the gesture in the Star Trek."

Ma un immagine può essere molto più esemplificativa di un centinaio di parole in inglese, corsivo e messe come citazione da wikipedia:
