Facepalm

With the Internet came a lot of new words. Cyberculture could be one of them, Googling or Hacktivism would be others.

Did you know that the famous gesture of Piccard is called a Facepalm?

The same word seems to exist also in German, so I'm quite sure that the word is new. (Although the Duden doesn't know it.)

Although the gesture itself is obviously old:
