dansplaining

When a blond swiss guy unnecessarily corrects or completes what someone is saying in a pompous, presumptuous and sometimes even slightly insolent manner
Stop explaining how the Federal Assembly works, what you are saying isn't even entirely correct.

Someone has to tell that swiss blond guy to stop correcting people eventhough they didn't ask for it. It's dansplaining and it is annoying everyone!
