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.

gradsplain 

gradsplain: when a grad student reads one or two books then feels the need to (mis)explain any and every academic concept to everyone they interact with, mostly to tell said people that they are somehow wrong about their own thoughts, opinions, and/or experiences.

Gradsplainers do not generally care even if those they interact with have superior training, experience, schooling, or degrees.
Cindy: See, the thing is, according to my thesis and this article I just found, you are totally wrong about (insert Marxism, feminism, socialism, capitalism, ableism, racism, string theory, quantum physics, Dr. Who, etc.)

John: First, I teach this class. Second, I wrote the article you cite. Stop gradsplaining to me.

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.
