a word or utterance that would typically introduce a rebuttal but has been abandoned upon the realization that one was or will be wrong if speaking continues
"Actually...", she waited, sure even after seconds of awkward silence that the mansplanation mark would be carried to term if she were to reply before giving him time to mourn. It was sure to be another pyrrhic victory - her argument was sound and would ultimately prevail, but the deafening silence was the war drumming of his loss to his own embarrassment.

Get the mansplanation markmug. A practice in which the most passionate of Harry Potter fans engage, in which upon first meeting another person one attempts to ascertain which house in Hogwarts that person belongs before learning anything else about said individual. Those who advocate for this practice claim it is far more effective in predicting and anticipating a person's character and personality than other forms of "marking" that many other humans may deploy. For example, the feminist philosopher Marilyn Frye describes "sex marking," a process of trying to determine another's sex and/or gender so as to impose upon them rigid expectations based on inaccurate gender norms and roles that only serve to stifle human capacity. Male and female are ambiguous, broad, and essentially meaningless term, containing within each of them the full spectrum of the human condition. Sex marking, therefore, is an inaccurate means of developing an understanding of another human. House marking, on the other hand, is far more effective in anticipating how a person will act, think, or live. Knowing someone is a Slytherin provides a far better basis for predicting behavior than knowing they are female.

Get the One Wheat Markmug. Perfect imperfect. Yes, this guy will refuse to put in any effort first but, if you among to get anywhere near close to one, boy you are special. One of a kind, kind of guy. Never there when you need him, yet worth sticking around for. Always cancelling on you but, making it up each time. He may not be the smartest when it comes to common sense but, boy can he learn things and work hard. be careful with this guy, if you get too close it could take years to finally adjust without him. But he is surely worth it. Owning the biggest smile in the world. Yes, a little hard to get emotions out of and a bit oblivious. Take care of him, if you are one of the lucky best friends to a Mark Duchene.
I am so annoyed and can't decide what to do about this really close friend of mine.
Ohhhh ya, sounds like a Mark Duchene to me, I have had one of those.
