Splaining

Explaining something in a slightly condescending, patronizing manner, while a) assuming the person you're talking to isn't knowledgeable about the subject, b) likely believing you know more about it than you actually do, and c) thinking they must need to hear your wisdom.

Can be used as a suffix to indicate the topic being 'splained, e.g., dog-splaining, car-splaining
#1)

"I just got a puppy and you would not believe how many people dog-splain to me how I should train it or what its breed is like. They all think they're expert animal trainers."

#2)

Person A: "Hey man, I got a chance to look at your YouTube videos. You know, channels get more views when they have attention grabbing thumbnails. You might want to try that. Also, one way to get more engagement is to have an introduction that..."

Person B: "Dude, stop YouTube-splaining me. I run my own channel. You think I don't know about all that stuff already?"

Spalaing

To Spala: The act of intentionally clicking a spoiler that you know you should not be clicking.

Originating from Discord user LucidDreamingEnigma#2309 (Spala) who just can't not click any spoiler she sees.
Shit, I accidentally spala'd that... That kinda ruins the twist of the series :/

I've been spalaing too much lately... I should really get into the habit of not clicking every spoiler I see :/

splander

the dried toothpaste encrusted foam that forms on clothes and facial features short while after activity of brushing teeth has been carried out.

Extremely dangerous, splander only visualises into white stain minutes after, one may be under the impression that their clothes/face are splander-free, yet by the time they reach the bus stop stains may have materialised, to laughs of fellow classmates.

Impossible to remove with mear scratching.

Possible to pretend to friends it is only Tippex, only sometimes though, friends are wise like that.

Some people can have personal problems with splander, that is cannot brush their teeth without creating it. Usual evolves from a teeth washer who has their mouth open will brushing. Foam forming around buccal cavity drops to clothes, pants, shoes etc.
Lucia; "Gerald, have you just finished brushing your teeth, darling?"

Gerald; "Yeh Mama. How'd you know?"

Lucia; "..Because you have splander all over your batman pyjamas!"

Gerald; "Ohhh darn-diddly -arn-it"
