Mathsplaining

When a mathematically capable person explains a math problem to a less mathematically capable person, typically in a manner regarded as condescending or patronising. Like mansplaining, except that it actually exists.

Maxsplaining

When you trap your life long formula one rival in order to explain every little detail about your race or quali session to them without a chance of escape.

Not to be confused with Mansplaining, while similar, Maxsplaining presents clear homoerotic undertones and heart eyes from both parties involved.
person 1: where's Charles?
person 2: oh, Max got him, he already started the maxsplaining
person 1: damn, that's a shame, there's no saving him now...

Mansplaining

When unsolicited advice or direction is given to a woman by a man in a condescending manner. The reasons typically being, the man does not believe the woman is capable of completing the task independently and must need guidance.
"You're not doing that how I would do it so I'm going to bother you with my directions and opinions even though I am in no way a superior and you did not ask for clarification. There is no way you are capable of doing this by yourself and must be ignorant so you have to rely on my constant guidance."
