Meanings: “WTF”

Possibilities:

1.  World Taekwondo Federation

2.  Welcome to Facebook

3.  Why the Face?

4.  What Tom-foolery

5.  But of course it especially means Wrist to Forehead — since the 19th century the universal sign of dismay, usually performed with excess drama.

For other lesser possibilities see the Urban Dictionary.

    Who knew?!?, I guess I’ve been using it all wrong. I fling my wrist to my forehead at the dismay I feel right now! :)
