Neoliberalism is a term which means a lot of different things; you probably aren't going to get a consistent answer which you like. If we're talking non-colloquially and historically, "neoliberalism" refers to a set of mixed, market-oriented politics which is ultimately pro-capitalism but also egalitarian, but also not libertarian because it believes in a level of regulation and government bureaucracy, as well as globalism from both a cultural (i.e. borders) and economic (i.e. trade) perspective.
Liberalism vs Neoliberalism is distinct (strictly historically) in that Liberalism is essentially an egalitarian deregulatory philosophy which advocates individualist-centric policy and typically laissez-faire through lack of regulation and enhancement of private sector. Neoliberalism on the other hand is an evolution of liberalism which attempts to maintain the "cultural" aspect of modern liberalism (i.e. individualist-policy) but advocating for economic privatization complemented by regulated government policy; i.e. things like bail-outs, private funding, strong banks, etc. as opposed to laissez-faire, but still keeping laissez-faire in terms of theoretical market structure for individuals rather than business.
However, these are more historical terms; the terms "liberal" and "neoliberal" do not refer to these things in colloquial speech, especially not by internet leftists/right populists. "Liberal" in modern speech tends to mean values unaligned with conservative traditionalism - i.e. values set essentially by a market rather than by a cultural force. On the other hand, neoliberalism - which is especially used by leftists but also increasingly by right populists - differs really depending on who you ask. The real implication of neoliberal by pundits who lean left or populist tends to mean people who's political and socio-cultural beliefs are formed solely by market opinion or attempting to either elevate or perpetuate a system without change, especially not economically or culturally; i.e. similarirties/parallels to discourse of Menshevik vs Bolshevik. Neoliberalism is essentially used as a slang for someone who has no real values or cultural beliefs besides what is set at a given time by the capitalist market, but still wishes despite those values to perpetuate both the market and its power structures.
