Facepalmist 

A facepalmist is someone, who by virtue one's idiocy (unaccountable by a disease or disorder), gives the reader/listener an inevitable, painful collision between one's palm and the face, one of the reasons being the utter disgust of having to share the identity of "human" with the facepalmist.

This person is not the regular ignorant person (which is basically each one of us) who says something stupid once in a while. Both the quantity and quality of stupid matters, he/she has to be very stupid and often stupid. The suffix "ist" is justified by the expert level stupidity in a facepalmist.
Facepalmist: If some stars are 100 light years away, then how do I see them? I am not 10 million years old, stupid cosmologists!
Anyone with basic common sense: *Facepalm*

Facepalmtastic 

1. When the best, or only, appropriate response to a situation is a facepalm from a third party, because words just cannot describe the full extent of thoughtlessness or idiocy as is evident.

2. When you see firsthand, or hear about, somebody doing something so stupid that you cannot imagine said person NOT facepalming themselves, so you facepalm out of pure sympathy.
This textbook is facepalmtastic because the publisher let the author get away with saying this:

"Cultural Studies insists that culture must be studied..."

facepalmsunday

In Finland, facepalmsunday refers to the historic parliamentary election day of Palm Sunday 17. April 2011. On facepalmsunday the nationalist populist party True Finns gained 39 seats in the 200-seat parliament, compared to the 5 seats they had gained in the previous elections four years ago. This made True Finns the third largest party, as opposed to the 8th place they held before. It was a huge shock for everyone who did not vote for True Finns.

The term facepalmsunday was probably first used in this meaning in this Twitter message during the vote counting: https://twitter.com/#!/yousifabdullah/status/59702195561570305 The origin as a Twitter hashtag contributes to the fact that the word is written as a compound word, as opposed to two words "facepalm Sunday", because hashtags cannot contain spaces. Also, Palm Sunday is properly written as a compound word "palmusunnuntai" in Finnish.
I almost choked on my drink when the preliminary votes were published on facepalmsunday.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
