Facepalm, also known as Facepalming, is a slang term that refers to the act of placing one's face in one's hand, a form of nonverbal-communication common among many cultures. The action conveys a message of dismay and is often a reaction toward someone's momentary lapse of logic, judgment or memory. This reaction may be directed toward another person or be self-deprecating. Online, people post various reaction images, GIFs and videos of people performing the motion as memes to express embarrassment towards someone else's actions.
The facepalm, as an expression, existed long before the internet in both human and non-human societies. For example, an 1896 statue entitled "Caïn" by Henri Vidal, which resides in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France, was unveiled in 1896 (shown below, left). One of the most famous and widely used variations of the facepalm comes from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which first aired on February 5th, 1990. The clip shows the character Captain Jean-Luc Picard (played by Patrick Stewart) reacting to a stressful situation by placing his hand on his face
