facepalmed
Hand met forehead
Facepalmed is the past tense of facepalm—to cover one's face with the palm of the hand in exasperation, embarrassment, or disbelief at someone's stupidity (often one's own): I facepalmed when I realized I'd been arguing the wrong point.
The gesture and term spread from internet culture, where it was often represented by reaction images.
