forehead
Above the eyebrows
The forehead is the part of the face above the eyebrows and below the hairline.
It's the broad, relatively flat expanse of skin covering the frontal bone of the skull.
A high forehead was once considered a sign of intelligence; a low one suggested dullness.
To slap your forehead is to express sudden realization or frustration with yourself.
