Abbsplaining 

Abbsplaining : v. The action of attempting to explaining something obvious to peers, who already clearly understand the topic at hand, in a condescending way.
Even though it was implicit that the Víctor understood the meaning behind the mockery, his peer felt the need to start abbsplaining the situation at hand. She was immediately expelled from the group.

Abbsplaining 

Abbsplaining : v. The action explaining something obvious to peers, who clearly understand the topic, in a somewhat condescending way.
Even though it was implicit that the Víctor understood the meaning behind the mockery, his peer felt the need to begin abbsplaining the situation to everyone. She was expelled from the group immediately after.

ma'amsplaining 

Counterpoint to mansplaining. When a woman explains something to a man as if he were her special needs child. Usually done in a condescending and demeaning manner.
Thanks for ma'amsplaining to me on how to properly stock a shelf, Angela, but I've been working in the auto parts business for 15 years.

ablesplaining

Ablesplaining is a patronizing "explanation" of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. An ablesplainer's opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!

i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."

"But you don't look like you have a disability!"

"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."

"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."

"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."

Assplaining 

1. When a "well-meaning" asshole of any gender bestows unsolicted and obvious (or obviously stupid) advice.

2. A caring act of condescension.
Elder: You know, if you stopped going to Starbucks, you could pay off your student loans.

Junior: I don't need you assplaining debt management to me.

agesplaining 

Like mansplaining, this occurs when someone who is older or grew up in a different time/generation tries to explain something without realizing that the younger person they are talking to knows more on that topic than they do.

Valid for use when the person perceives themself as being older whether they actually are or not and still explains in the same condescending fashion.

Also used for when the elder explains something that no longer is culturally valid in our society, such as the means for a student in the US to be able to be debt-free when graduating. Often the agesplained statement comes after "when I was your age."
Augustus was agesplaining saving for retirement, little did he know that I've had a retirement account since my 18th birthday, longer than he claims to have started saving.

assplaining 

What a wife or girlfriend does when her husband comes home from work. Including feeding him dinner, spreading her ass, and putting the children to bed.

Something every good wife does.
My friend asked me where my wife is.

I said "She's assplaining".
