mansplain

Essentially when a man assumes a woman (sometimes a man) lacks knowledge in an area where she (or he) is known to be an expert
Me reading the other definitions of "mansplain": Wow, these all sound like they were written by men who have never experienced mansplaining themselves! Now, they're trying to explain what it is. CLASSIC mansplaining!!

Mansplain

When a man explains something to a woman, uninvited, about a topic she is either equally qualified or more qualified to talk on.

A male doctor explaining something to a female patient, for example, would not be mansplaining.

Examples: The guy who tried to tell Margaret Atwood about "The Handmaid's Tale", the guy who told Katie Mack, who has a PHD in Astrophysics, to "learn some science" because he thought climate change was a hoax, the man who tried to correct a woman about how to pronounce her own name correctly, an Englishman correcting a Welsh woman on her Welsh pronunciation.

Manalapan High School

A school full of pussies who can't fight 1 on 1. Every fight consists of two people who actually have a reason to fight and their friends who must fight with them to make up for the lack of skill between those two. A school full of drug heads and wanna-be drug heads, both are one chromosome away from down syndrome. And like any other school, we have sluts and whores who get banged like a salvation army drum.
Where can I go to witness the worst fighting ever, buy some pot, and bring a hooker home for the night?

Mansplain

When someone "explains" something to another person about a topic they are already familiar with/understand. This is typically done in a condescending manner under the pretense that the speaker knows more about the topic than who they are speaking to, i.e. they are subordinate.
1) Explaining the rules of poker to a poker dealer
2)Repeating a point back to someone in your own way, even if they just said the same thing
3)Telling a person that you know more about something because of blank, even though they are a professional/have a degree in the field that you do not have

Sidenote: it is okay to know a lot about a topic and make this known in conversation, but assuming that you know more than someone else, not accepting if you are wrong, not accepting that they may simply be more knowledgeable, and/or doing so in a condescending manner means that you are mansplaining.

Manalapan

I came here to write an updated definition for this town since all of them were written almost a decade ago, but I can't say that much has changed. The bottom line is that this town is home to a bunch of entitled assholes that think they're the shit because they're parents are rich af.

The boys try to act all ghetto and tough when in reality they're all pussys. When the girls of Manalapan aren't busy over obsessing with these boys, they are bitching about each other if secretly crying at home because in reality they're all lonely and depressed af.

Everyone is unhappy with their lives, so they aimlessly fight for popularity, hundreds of likes on their Instagram, or a shitty relationship that will only get them attention and lasts for about two months (including the messy, dramatic breakup, of course).

If your an 8th grader looking at high schools, I encourage you to get out of this town ASAP! You will NOT regret it.
