Similar to facepalm, but used in embarrassing situations. Execute by putting hand over face with three fingers on forehead, and thumb and pinkie over either cheek. See awkward turtle.

I was just coming here to ask about the awkward turtle. Is the awkward starfish another cool, new thing that high schoolers are doing? I feel ancient.

I can't keep up with this stuff. My hand signs are still limited to thumbs up and hang ten.

That's the beautiful thing about words. You can be as greedy as you like, and there's still enough to go around.
