Ultracrepidarianism.
Used in a sentence: "I just learned what may be my *new* favorite word, replacing 'tautological' (learned a while ago as I was dealing with my hatred of the phrase 'it is what it is', overused, in my opinion, by a generation who has given up): ultracrepidariansim, or as it is more commonly known, Facebook."
So consider yourself on notice. Now that I have added this word to my lexicon, I may come after you if I see ultracrepidarianistic behavior on your part and call you on it. And Facebook being Facebook, you just know the opportunities are going to be endless.
