person facepalming 🤦

Express your disappointment and frustration with the Person Facepalming emoji! This emoji shows a person doing a facepalm. A facepalm is a physical gesture in which one’s hand is placed across one’s face. The person’s eyes are closed as this happens, and it also comes with a little head shake. After a few seconds, the hand is gradually removed from the face.

Gender variants are available for this facepalming emoji, namely the Man Facepalming emoji and Woman Facepalming emoji.

This emoji is used in the same way it is used in real life and in popular culture—to show disappointment and frustration because of something stupid, senseless, or obviously wrong.

You’ll often see it as a reaction to cringe-worthy and unseemly posts on social media. For instance, if someone DM’s you something annoying and absolutely repulsive, you may use the emoji as a response.

Use it in any lighthearted context of showing embarrassment, as well, like. forgetting someone’s name, or sending a message by accident. Some like to simply call the facepalm emoji, while others prefer a more dramatic name, like smh (shaking my head) emoji or a more brutal one, like the head slap emoji.
