What Does This Mean?
A confidently, condescendingly wrong know-it-all who opines loudly on subjects they don't actually understand — named for the stereotype of the overbearing brother-in-law who dominates family gatherings with confidently incorrect takes on any topic.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Llegó el cuñado de la mesa a explicarle de fútbol al que juega profesional."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extended from cuñado (brother-in-law), a long-standing Spanish-language family stereotype of the loud, over-opinionated relative, into an internet archetype for anyone — related or not — who confidently mansplains or pontificates on topics outside their expertise.
