When a multi-level marketing consultant "teaches" someone—often a person more educated in the given subject—how their MLM product will magically cure their affliction, with questionable or non-existent scientific evidence to back up their claims. The explanation often incorporates scientific phrases that are randomly strung together and ultimately showcases the mlmsplainer's complete ignorance of the topic. "It like, changes the pH of the mitochondria and helps cleanse your gut at cellular level."
"When I confided in Karen about my best friend's recent diagnosis, I didn't expect her to MLMsplain how their therapeutic grade essential oils would cure his prostate cancer."

milsplaining

milsplaining (blend word ‘military’ & informal form splaining of gerund ‘explaining’) is pejorative term meaning "(of a squaddie) to comment on or explain something to #civvy in condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner"
It is total bravado based on a rigid hierarchy where people have to do exactly as you tell them even if you are an utter knob. Civvies don’t give a shit about rank & will tell you to poke it.
I’m not #milsplaining you thick Civvy twat, I’m giving you guidance based on my considerable military knowledge gleamed from Commando comics & years of mucking other military around. I have zero knowledge of real world but if I shout & point, you will have to do what I say!

memesplaining 

The act of explaining the meaning of the word meme to a person who does not understand it. Most people incorrectly believe that a meme is a picture with words added on top of it. This is actually an image macro. While some image macros are also memes, not all memes are image macros. The preceding three sentences are an example of memesplaining.
Hey, check out this meme I just made!

(sighs) Looks like I've got some memesplaining to do here....
