ultracrepidarian 

One who speaks above his level of knowledge, experience or expertise. From Latin Ultra=above & beyond + crepis-idis=sole,keel.
The story goes that when the famous Greek painter Apellis made a full-body painting of Alexander the Great and showed it to the audience, a shoemaker approached him and made some comments about the rendering of the sandals of the great warrior. The painter promptly acknowledged the error and with a stroke of his brush corrected it. But after a while the same man started to comment about the robe of Alexander and the painter cut him short by saying, "Stick to the sandals, my valuable friend".

ultracrepidate 

To criticize beyond sphere of one’s knowledge.
In a Roman story, a cobbler criticised the sandals in a painting by the painter Apelles, and then complained about further parts of the work, to which Apelles is said to have replied, "Ne sutor ultra crepidam", or, roughly, "The cobbler must not go beyond the sandal". As true today as it was then.

Yeah... an ultracrepidate alright...

Ultracheese

Something either received or given. If received (more popular), an entity has wronged you (usually legally.) However, this wrong was usually not done to raise the status of the giver (often, the transaction is unbeknownst to the giver.) Instead, it is a loophole-esque way to inconvenience the receiver in an uncanny but not severe or permanent way. If given, usually done in a braggadocios and conscious manner; he or she knows he or she is giving the Ultracheese. It often elevates the status of the giver rather than the degradation of the entity. However, the entity is usually a higher power that is villainized a la beauracracy. Inspired by the Arctic Monkeys song of the same name. Gained in popularity after cult podcast College Avenue Podcast described it in a titular episode.
