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.
