Gwynplaine 

A character in the novel 'The Man Who Laughs' by Victor Hugo about a man called Gwynplaine who had his face disfigured into a laughing mask as a child and falls in love with a blind girl called Dea.

Gwynplaine is described as having a fine, athletic body, but a terrible face yet he is one of the sweetest men in literature therefore, the term Gwynplaine is used to describe inner beauty particularly about men.
He certainly is a gwynplaine.

Giosplaining 

When you explain a meme, thus removing any and all elements of humor from said joke
Ethan: I dont get why these moth memes are considered funny
Gio: You see, the moth memes are funny because the moth likes light. So, therefore, any allusions to a light source arouse the moths. XD
Ethan: Wow, now it's even less funny. Thanks for giosplaining it to me.

Goy: "Roger Waters using the Star Of David on an inflatable pig isn't antisemitic. After all, he has Jewish friends!"
Jew: "Don't sit there goysplaining this to me as if it somehow affects you personally. I've been dealing with antisemitism all my life; I think I know what it is better than you ever will."

Godsplaining

To attribute divine significance to something, usually in a forced manner
Random lady: These flowers start blooming during the Pentacostal period once a year. Before bloom, it looks like praying saints, after bloom it looks like a flying dove. How amazing is God's creation!

Friend: Are they godsplaining nature? The flowers bloom when the light, temperature, and climate conditions are right.
