Quadruple Facepalm

This is said to be performed by having your friend place both his palms on your hands, then performing a double facepalm. It takes practice and careful coordination to perform properly.

Not much else is known about the elusive quadruple facepalm, other than it killed it's creator: Hans Garfludeldorf (the same man who once constructed an entire castle out of duct-tape). He attempted to perform the quadruple facepalm without the aid of another person; he died from blunt trauma to the face. Since then, few have dared attempt the quadruple facepalm by themselves for fear of their lives.

Me and my friend saw this guy I know run up to an officer, stoned out of his mind and naked, and punch him in the face while screaming, "I wanna have your babies!". My friend and I performed the Quadruple Facepalm, because the guy failed so epically at life.

double facepalm

Stronger than "facepalm". When you cover your face with both your hands in extreme frustration or disappointment. Usually written between asterisks in online conversations.

- Hey there, did you finally get that DVD I asked you for?
- Oops... I forgot again, sorry! :D

tactical facepalm

tactical facepalm (tak-ti-kuhl feys-pahm)

–noun

1. A maneuver performed by a unit of Internet denizens in response to an overwhelming onslaught of ignorance. The maneuver involves each member of the unit performing a standard facepalm in unison. Executed properly, the tactical facepalm is the only known defense against spontaneous cerebrofulmination—also known as "exploding head syndrome" (EHS)—resulting from exposure to extreme stupidity.

Earnest idiot: Africans were wholly responsible for slavery in the European world. Whites only bought what African slavers were offering. They're completely innocent!

Forum dweller CO: Squad, initiate tactical facepalm!

Forum dwellers: Sir, yes, sir! *facepalm*

Forum dweller XO: EHS averted, sir!

Facepalmtastic

1. When the best, or only, appropriate response to a situation is a facepalm from a third party, because words just cannot describe the full extent of thoughtlessness or idiocy as is evident.

2. When you see firsthand, or hear about, somebody doing something so stupid that you cannot imagine said person NOT facepalming themselves, so you facepalm out of pure sympathy.

This textbook is facepalmtastic because the publisher let the author get away with saying this:

"Cultural Studies insists that culture must be studied..."
