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*

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.
