Mansplaining

When a man unnecessarily explains something to a woman that is either basic knowledge or a topic the woman knows more about, and she has mentioned her knowledge on that subject to him before. Most women find this annoying (though some think it's cute, myself included, but only when he's sharing because he's genuinely excited about his knowledge on that).

A perfect example is men trying to mansplain the term "mansplaining" itself, saying that the word doesn't even exist and that only feminists use it. (Hint: check a dictionary.)
Or
Woman: Yeah, and I ate an egg this morning—
Man: Actually, did you know that chickens sit on their eggs to keep them warm until they hatch?
Woman: Mhm... yes I did.

Mansplaining

1. Whenever a man tells a "woman" the truth about something she disagrees with or thought differently about.

2. When a "woman" believes that an opinion is an objective fact, she will use this.

*Woman is in "" due to the fact that what a woman actually is, is being disputed by "women".

"He tried mansplaining to me what a woman is."
"His wife tried mansplaining to me that I'm not a real woman and shouldn't tell her how to act."

Mansplaining

Mansplaining (verb) - The heroic act of a man patiently explaining, with logic, something not that complex to a woman who insists she already knows-but clearly doesn't. Often met with eye rolls, contridictions, and an unshakable confidence in her incorrect opinion.

Man did you see nphoenixcrimefighter trying to explain what Mansplaining is to Stacy the other night? It's not that hard, but she was being intentionally obtuse. That man has the patience of a saint.

mansplaining

Mansplaining is an add-on service provided by men when trying to communicate with women. This add-on is rarely offered when communicating with other men, as it is assumed that men prefer to receive information with complete technical accuracy. The only add-on service sometimes offered to other men is background elaboration, which augments the technical content with how it all came to be that way. Men generally don't offer background elaboration service to women, as it often results in things being thrown at them. To date, mansplaining has no standards specification and remains completely ad-hoc, varying widely among service providers. That is due, in large part, to the inherent difficulty interpreting the feedback from the recipient, as it is invariably contradictory to the quality of service.

Mansplain Max

Breath-takingly daring levels of Mansplaining. Way above and beyond regular mansplaining.

Examples: Mansplaining Vietnamese food to a Vietnamese girl. Mansplaining metal music to the owner of a metal bar. Straight mansplaining how to come out to a gay guy.

Someone tried to tell the yoga teacher she was doing it wrong - while he fell out of crow pose like 9 times.

Was it Nick?

Yeah, that guy is Mansplain Max
