gransplaining

When your parents tell you how to look after your kids. Back in their day they did things differently.

G: I brought up six kids and they all slept on their front. None of them died.
Me: Great, but times and advice have both changed. Stop gransplaining.

Fiatsplain

Fiatsplaining is the act of reflexively repeating pedantic Keynesian truisms when the topic of Bitcoin is brought up. Usually employed by “nocoiners“, dimwitted MBAs, mainstream Economists, and bloodsucking politicians, Fiatsplainers lack even a basic understanding of Cryptocurrency, Sound Money, Austrian Economics and Computer Science. Because they’ve benefitted tremendously from the present corrupt financial system, Fiatsplainers frequently lash out and bury their head in the sand rather than honestly question the economic dogmas indoctrinated into them at “elite” schools. They’ve almost always benefitted monetarily and professionally for blindly repeating their indoctrinations because, alas, “it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it (Upton Sinclair).”

Fiatsplainers typically despise Critical Thinking and prefer to instead procure nearly all of their opinions from the New York Times. Intellectual Integrity and Philosophical Consistency matter little to fiatsplainers; they lack the ability to form original thoughts, objectively consider the externalities of our current financial system, and consistently become enraged by the continued success of bitcoin. The most common phrases used to fiatsplain include: “bitcoin has no intrinsic value", "it’s just too volatile”, “the government is going to ban it”, and “Hillary Clinton is the most qualified presidential candidate of all time”.

Krugman’s numerous ignorant, fiatsplaining articles will be looked back on with as much ridicule as his prediction that “by 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

Gransplaining

When someone of an older generation (typically a Baby Boomer) condescendingly explains why you are doing something wrong, even though they lack the shared experience necessary to equate theirs with yours.

"You don't need to go into debt to attend college. Just get a part-time job like I did!"

"Stop gransplaining me, Boomer."

Verb (transplaining, transplained). To "explain" the so-called "facts" of a transgender fantasy using circular reasoning and post-modern nonsense words. Usually accompanied by character attacks and other logical fallacies. Common among SJWs and students of gender studies. Similar to the verb "mansplain", but with a right-on lefty twinge.

Another TRA transplainer in the comments today.

fiatsplain

A portmanteau of the words “fiat” and “explain”, where a fiat proponent (typically a nocoiner) explains economic principles to Bitcoiners in a condescending way, without regard to the Bitcoiner being more experienced with the subject in the first place.

The worst thing about finance twitter is how they keep trying to fiatsplain Keynesian Economics to us. Sometimes I wonder if nocoiners understand that the modern economy was designed to systemically oppress consumers.

A spiel given by a comic book/film franchise know it all/fan boy about something in the movie condescending over others who are understanding the plot at face value.

"Stop fansplaining , Garry."

To condescendingly explain finance, investing, or crypto to a person who is already knowledgeable about the topic—probably because they invest with Titan.

I'm so tired of Marcus trying to finsplain NFTs to me.
