Mersplain

(v.) Mer splain
Meryl Streep, during her 2017 acceptance speech of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, revealed earth shattering revelations to the world. Meryl was able to point out previously unknown concepts such as racism is bad, discrimination against people based on religion is really bad, and without Hollywood the world would have no art. None at all. To Mersplain is deliver amazing insight into topics that you just found out about and always add an ironic jibe while doing so.
Taylor, " Wow! Guns are really bad and can kill people if they are mishandled. Only hicks would own them."
Dave, "Way to Mersplain. Up until you said that I thought guns were alright and that all kinds of people own them."

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....
