The term has become popular in online slang and is often used to express:
* Embarrassment at someone's actions or words: "When my friend told that joke, I just facepalmed so hard."
* Frustration with a situation: "I facepalmed when I realized I left my phone at home."
* Disbelief at something foolish or obvious: "Face palm, it was right there in the instructions!"
It's a way to convey a feeling without needing to say anything, and it's often used in a humorous or self-deprecating way.
