how else could it be as an answer

question: what does face palm mean?

answer: means you can't believe you asked that.

was deleted as not answer in right format. appealed, said that it was not in right format

so my question is what would be the right format?

    Well I wouldn't of reported that... I let things slip and slide. All I really report is spam, trolls, and mean answers/questions.

    Okay so on to the question...

    Well you were just joking around, but frankly Yahoo! Answers users don't allow that stuff. (That's right, users. It's up the Yahoo! Answers community to report anything that violates the community guidelines. 2 or more trusted users have to report question/answer for the question/answer to be removed). I thought your answer was a-okay, but this what you could do: Answer what it really means. Like "someone used their palm to slap your face" or "the answer was obvious, so they slapped you from not knowing". (Well that's what I mean when I use `facepalm`.). Another resort is to use correct grammar. I can understand you fine, but it's best to use correct grammar so other users can understand.

    I agree with them. When you read it over and over it sounds like bad grammar. The right format would be:

    "It means that person can't believe you have asked this"
