mansplaining 

When a man has to explain something to a woman because she is too dumb to understand it or just refuses to understand something.

I was literally forced into mansplaining to Terri about some conflicting information because she never reads my emails.

mansplaining 

Mansplaining is an add-on service provided by men when trying to communicate with women. This add-on is rarely offered when communicating with other men, as it is assumed that men prefer to receive information with complete technical accuracy. The only add-on service sometimes offered to other men is background elaboration, which augments the technical content with how it all came to be that way. Men generally don't offer background elaboration service to women, as it often results in things being thrown at them. To date, mansplaining has no standards specification and remains completely ad-hoc, varying widely among service providers. That is due, in large part, to the inherent difficulty interpreting the feedback from the recipient, as it is invariably contradictory to the quality of service.

mansplaining to nobody 

Mansplaining on a topic when the usual audience for mansplaining is not present

TJ is mansplaining to nobody again - that group of paraplegic orphans doesn't seem to care at all about the proper way to fold a parachute.

Mansplaining planner

A board with a calendar used to plan methodically when to do mansplaining, choosing the topic and the victim

Mildred: I would swear that man owns a mansplaining planner because he always mansplains to me from Monday to Friday at the same hour about what feminism is and what it isn't. I always receive his condescending tutelage on this topic at 17:19 sharp.
Gertrude: Same topic at the same hour?
Mildred: Indeed, Gertrude, indeed.
Gertrude: And what about Saturday and Sunday?
Mildred: A mercy, I assume. He must think I need to have a rest!

Meta-Mansplaining 

When frustrated manly men go and flood the Urban Dictionary with their definitions of the word Mansplaining, because they know it better than the feminists, actually.

Greg is so pissed off because his professor didn't want to hear him explain her area of expertise to her in his opinion, so he went meta-mansplaining in UD and invited all his friends too. (See mansplaining )

Superior Mormon Mansplaining 

When a mormon man treats not only women, but also non-mormons as if they are stupid.

When John addressed me this afternoon, his tone suggested that he was superior mormon mansplaining.
