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....

Medsplain 

When an absolute idiot thinks they understand something medical or health related and goes crazy explaining it over their social media. In reality they'll probably end up with mega-AIDS with their terrible ideas, so medsplainers are to be avoided and feared. Someone can be a medsplainer, can medsplain, or medsplaining.
My sister tried to medsplain to me that onions in my socks will cure cancer and now my stupid socks smell like onions.
