A facepalm (sometimes also face-palm or face palm) is the physical gesture of placing one's hand across one's face or lowering one's face into one's hand or hands, covering or closing one's eyes. The gesture is often exaggerated by giving the motion more force and making a slapping noise when the hand comes in contact with the face.
face noun (HEAD) A1 [ C ] the front of the head, where the eyes, nose, and mouth are: She has a long, thin face. She had a puzzled expression on her face. A1 [ C ] an expression on someone's face: I was greeted by smiling faces.
