1. The explanation of something by a woman, typically to a man, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing, e.g., Womansplaining.
2. When a woman uses bigoted, illogical rhetoric, or ask questions that she doesn't really want an answer to, to "shut a man down." Usually used so the woman can feel superior to the male she is speaking with.
3. When a woman interprets what a man says, not by the words he is saying, but by what her mind "knows" he is thinking behind the words that he is saying; because she "knows" what his thoughts, motivations, and intentions "really"mean and not what he intended by the words he used to begin with, womansplain. With this ready knowledge of what he "really" means and disregarding what he said, she will then craft what she believes to be an appropriate response.

Get the glamsplaining mug.A small town up close to the Canadian border in New York, that can easily be renamed to hillbilly heaven. Your neighbor may likely be your second cousin or an on-parole sex offender. Make sure to watch your kids. The town is a go-to spot if you're looking to go on a dollar store-spree because it has two of its own and a third in the making. The highlight is the towns favorite restaurant- McDonald's. Even that is getting torn down. If they keep it up, there will be no Champlain to add shit on to. the buzz of the town comes from its own high school, which is 90% pot heads. This town is one to love.
