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.

pejorative term meaning "to use questionably sourced, highly biased or polarizing reductionist memes based on highly suspect and or unverified data to explain something to a person over the interwebs. Most often used to support wild theory's or assumptions in a condescending, overconfident tone, in an often inaccurate or oversimplified manner while increasing feelings of superiority and feeding the posters damaged ego often at the expense of accuracy or accountability"...
I tried to engage in a civilized debate with that COVID denier and instead of a rational argument all I got was a through memesplaining in return.
