face vault 

A physical action in anime when a character falls over out of sheer exasperation. Usually after another character says something really stupid. Used for comic purposes.

Really funny when done in real life.

Character 1: This guy's a decendant of the famous Dr. Faust who made a pact with the devil. He's dangerous!
Character 2: So... that's why he's wearing a white jacket! Because he's a doctor!

Facefault

A version of faceplanting, this version being the act of going from standing upright to having one's face planted on or in asphault without any intervening movement or time. This usually happens in anime, particularly after someone does something incredibly naieve or stupid.

Jim: You just went to the third level of stupid.
Bob: There are levels of stupid?
Jim: Yes, you blew right past facepalm and headdesk and went straight to facefault.
