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....

mensplaining 

Mensplaining is the attempts by society to explain why men are the way they are that are not correct. The real reason's that men are struggling in the 21st Century is due to lack of father's and positive male role models in their lives which has led to a generation of immature men who lack character and direction. An African proverb says "If we do not initiate our sons they will burn down the village to feel the heat", correctly identifying the real reason men become violent and or depressed. Lack of positive male influences in their lives who can shape their character, show them what it means to be a mature man, and answer their hearts core question "Am I a man?".
Examples of mensplaining:

"Men are pigs because of toxic masculinity",
"Men abuse women because they are morally corrupt"
"Men are violent because they want to dominate others"

Stating accurate, verifiable facts. Especially when these facts are inconvenient to an idiots worldview, or contradict idiotic talking points.
example magsplaining:
I once had a roommate who tried to trick the air conditioner
They also panicked that they had broken it because the “number kept changing randomly” since it changed when they pressed the buttons, changed again moments after, and then gradually changed over time. I had to tell them that the first number is the temperature setting, the second is the current temperature, and the gradual change is the current temperature changing.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
