Jackface is a Lost related slang term referring to Jack Shephard.

To quote the entry from UrbanDictionary.com on Jackface:

A term used to describe the contorted facial expression Matthew Fox's character, "Jack Shephard", makes when he is angry, yelling, or just plain acting crazy on the television show "Lost".

e.g. "Did you see that Jackface Jack made when he was screaming last night on Lost?"

Fans have created a Lost drinking game centered on Jackface. When someone notices one, they call out "Jackface!", and all fans playing must take a drink of their beverage.1

Whilst Jackface is a popular Lost internet meme, the fans mean no disrespect towards Matthew Fox's portrayal of Jack Shephard.
