midsplaining

A pejorative term referring to when a midlevel (e.g. nurse practitioner, physician assistant, etc) comments on or explains medical knowledge to a physician in an overconfident and often oversimplified manner.
Nurse Practitioner: "I think we should always order pregnancy tests for female clients. It's the only way to practice."
Physician: "Not if they've had a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Remember your limitations and cut down on the midsplaining."

baysplaining

A Baysplainer can be characterized as someone who didn’t grow up in the Bay Area (probably not even California), most likely works in tech, eats at “hole in the wall” restaurants (I.e. restaurants that used to actually be a hole in the wall, but was taken over by a new Asian/fusion spot), considers themselves a “foodie”, most likely lives in the City or Oakland, goes to Outside Lands, wears their work badge to the bars, and so on.

A Baysplainer tends try to explain to a local “the best parts of the Bay”, the local community, etc., and doesn’t realize the impact they may have had on the local community by moving here and thus, affecting the job market, housing market, influencing the quick rise of gentrification, etc.
I was talking to someone who works in tech and they started Baysplaining about what the Bay Area is like.

Momsplaining

Similar to mansplaining

It's when your mother explains things to you in a very condescending way that feels like she is talking down to you, as if you were a child or a simpleton.
#1: Why do you look so upset?
#2: I'm sick of my mom constantly momsplaining things to me like I'm not a damn adult.
