Facepalm ~ 'tis a wondrous word

facepalm /ˈfāspä(l)m / noun
A gesture in which the palm of one's hand is brought to one's face, as an expression of disbelief, shame, or exasperation.  Example of how to use this word — "facepalm felt around the world" on this mug.  Who is this man?  Do you know?
Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID Director, is the one whose facepalm was "felt around the world."  At least one person I know has become a Dr. Fauci fan, with the mug and a tee-shirt.  Do I need to tell you more about him?  Or are you up on the news these days?  Click on his name to learn more about him  — or click here to see WHY he facepalmed that day.

How can Fauci stand being on the stage with Trump?! And why aren't any of them social distancing!
