Mansplain

The habit some men have of making a "well, actually" statement then re-explaining an explanation a woman has just given, adding nothing new or different to the explanation, and in fact frequently adding incorrect information.

This tends to happen a lot on subjects men consider "manly".
Eric tried Mansplaining to Sharon, who has a Ph.d on the subject, because women don't know more than men about anything, ever.
Example: Water is wet.

Well actually, hot water is also wet. In fact, it even feels wetter.
