Mansplaining

A combination of the two words "man" and "explaining" which have been combined and fused in order to make it easier to say often and be easily identifiable.

It is used when a subject often the one question in conversation and following topic at hand is explained in unrequested and unrequired detail. This has been dubbed "Mansplaining" due to women finding it annoying and perceiving it as men looking down on the m without noticing that men just talk to them like they talk to men.

It is also a bit of a an everything word as the definition is very biased as men feel as they did just give helpful advice while women feel looked down upon. This means that you may if you wish utilise this word however you may please and bend the definition to agree with your argument or view.

Mansplain

A term used to describe what is considered a male behavioural tendency when talking to females to overexplain, to talk down to or in a condescending manner, often with the assumption that the female interlocutor lacks knowledge or is unable to understand or comprehend complex subjects or logical thinking.

Sometimes also associated with prideful male pontification and a desire to appear knowledgable, and often linked to a tendency to ignore the central or most important issue(s) at hand and focus on or divert the conversation to easy to quantify but non crucial elements.

The term is also noted for the strong reaction it often engenders.

2. He was so busy mansplaining how important the side mirrors are, he backed into the neighbour’s car.

3. I don’t care how the gun works, just stop mansplaining it and let me watch the movie.
