Face Painting 

Face Painting (also referred to as 'MySpin') is internet slang for the practice of sprinkling a social networking profile with embellishments, fantasy, and satire, often with humorous or political intentions. Face painters play with the truthiness of identity by conducting a campaign of misinformation to protect their true identity.

Face Painting is closely related to Google Bombing

The term was coined in 2007 in the wake of the Facebook Beacon backlash and the Soble scandal. Face painters aim to introduce a bit of noise and chaos back into the system, clearing some space for true privacy, and enabling a form of direct political action that does not fall victim to Sunstein's critique of homogeneous, disjoint social sub-networks on the internet.
We spent the evening face painting our Facebook profiles.

Painting your face 

Someone who is "Painting their face" is lying to themselves. They paint their face as a clown does.
"I swear to god I will wake up early tomorrow to do my homework!!" <- painting their face
"I will start going to the gym this semester" <- painting their face
"Hey, I think I'm going to start applying for jobs!" "You're Painting your face, dawg."

Painting her face 

In the same vein as painting her nails -- describes the 'occupation' of a woman that only entails sitting at home and doing nothing while her partner does all the breadwinning.

The term stems from women applying make-up as part of their apparent vanity pastime, hence the 'painting' term.
"He's at the store, working 24/7 while she spends her time painting her face."

If someone says that they are going on a trolley ride you post a picture of a trolley that went up in flames. Just to be sarcastic and funny. It is pretty amusing to play FacePainting on someones facebook wall.
