Sam: But she doesn't even know how to use it??!!

|Example 2| Lee: I was talking to this girl I met about jojos bizarre adventure when this dude came up and started consplaining to her about Diamond is Unbreakable. She embraced the hell out of him when she started asking about speed wagon and he had no idea what she was talking about.

Cisplaining

Not unlike mansplaining, Cisplaining is the act of a cisgender person explaining a transgenderone of a subject the latter is more knowledgeable in. The word is usually used to describe a situation in which the cis explains the trans of a trans-related subject or about a transgender experience, which the cisgender person, being cisgender, has never experienced.
Trans: "I think casting Scarlett Johansson to a role of a trans man is a very bad representation because-"
Cis: "Oh, nonsense! Johansson is a great actress, she will be a wonderful representation. So what if she is a woman?"
Trans: "That, right there, was the exact definition of cisplaining."

crosplaining

the explanation of behavior, generally deemed unacceptable in Western countries, by a Croatian typically from Croatia, to an expat, member of the diaspora, or a tourist, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.
Expat #1: "I waited two hours at MUP (Croatia Police) for my number to get called. Even though I brought all of the required supporting documents for my temporary residency, which are listed on their website; the woman at the counter rudely told me I was missing x, y and z. Now I have to make a another trip. What a waste of time!"

Croatian: "Welcome to Croatia! The woman at the counter probably has a terrible boss and doesn't get paid very much. Therefore, she is unhappy and does not care about doing a good job. I'm not excusing her behavior - just trying to explain to you that this is how it is in Croatia."

LATER:

Expat #1: "I wasted two hours at MUP today only to find out that I didn't have everything I needed for my temporary residency. This would never happen in the US! Can you imagine?

Expat #2: It sure wouldn't! How does this country even operate? How many people actually get what they need at MUP on the first try? Nobody!

Expat #1: And then (Croatian) was crosplaining to me that the woman at the counter was rude because she is unhappy at her job!
