Shame: what it is and what it eats

The Development of civilization is not in place. Once our predecessors rejoiced at the invention of the first telephones, cars and computers, we with the advent of the Internet became the happy owners of pictures and, lo and behold, memes that try the existence in the web space to brighten up. it is Impossible to go online without bumping into another meme: trollface, Alfas and a bunch of other faces. Lately especially popular was the facepalm. What is it?

What face and where there is a palm

What do you mean facepalm? From a linguistic point of view, the word is composed of English components of a face ("face") and palm ("palm"), but in the Internet quickly spread the word “rukalitso" of the main idea, in principle, the sending. This term refers to a gesture full of frustration, shame and even grief for the fate of individuals and humankind as a whole. You can freely apply a funny picture in response to the blatant stupidity, false information, and indeed all that you think for any reason is unacceptable. Surprising and easy meme – its value is clear to all, irrespective of race, gender or social background.

Star shame – what kind of animal?

Where did the facepalm, is difficult to understand. First, perhaps, appeared memes with a picture of a model Jim Horne, where he covers a bit of expressing the disgust face with his hand. But the most popular silhouette with Picard, captain of the starship enterprise Star trek, performed by Patrick Stewart (aka Professor X). Memes with him the audience liked it so much that began to visceversa fans of every series of Star trek, in various situations and poses. The Internet has spread pictures facepalm Picard sitting in the captain's chair, squatting, sitting next to the Date (and that too with the same gesture). In their search, many and swung on the sacred — captain Kirk and Spock finding and gesture "rukalitso”. Well, at least the classics of science fiction looked. But a part of the Star trek gesture is not limited, and many quickly find shame in their favorite films and television series – hence the appearance of the meme, "I'm ashamed, I'm not with them" Homer Simpson, Dr. house, king théoden and even Ernie from sesame street. The beloved hobby went so far that, in addition to tens of thousands quickly dispersed demotivators, memes, and just images, was invented already, and smiley facepalm – the familiar yellow gingerbread man, holding a chubby palm to the head (although in his case his entire body) and sadly, even bitterly, his head shaking. And in some cases smile and even sarcastic eyebrow raises. That's such a shame! That is a great way of expression for lovers of sarcasm and other caustic humor, no doubt.

Ashamed

In General, the popularity of facepalm is gaining momentum, there are more options and they are no longer limited by a part of Starfleet, nor cinema in General, or even belonging to the human race. Cute cats with no less lovely "downcast gestures" are actively gaining popularity. But no matter how fun it may seem meme at first glance, can be said about facepalm is that it is exactly what reflects the sad situation of a whole generation. And ashamed of it.
