Mansplaination

if your ever in trouble with a girl or even sometimes this works with dudes I need you to find the stupidest yet most logical way to say it. First It has to be unnecessarily long second it has to be semi relatable and third you gotta make it sound convenient for the other person
Down bellow is an example of a man who was caught and in trouble and he wanted to get off the hook witch arose questions in the other person's mind

"why do you want to be off the hook so bad? Hiding something?"

Incorrect response: " because it's annoying when your CONSTANTLY saying things without judging properly or fairly"

Correct response:
" Well you see it's nothing of wanting to do with other people it's about personal freedom. "Off the hook" a widely used term you see imagine me a fish a great white shark, I wouldn't wanna be stuck on a hook all the time it hurts and makes you bleed so getting off the hook would also allow me freedom. Now imagine me human me and you human you I'm currently on the hook I don't want to be off the hook so I can have Total freedom and do whatever the fuck I want I want to be off the hook so that you don't have to worry about anything! Of course I'm gonna regulate myself. I just don't want you to waste your mental energy keeping me on the hook it's be a waste and you should t waste your energy! You should focus on kicking that rashes ass I know it might feel like it won't change anything but I know it will coming from experience so the reason I want off the hook is so you don't waste your energy and I can focus more on helping you!"

This is proper mansplaination

MANSPLAINING

The simplifying or for women reading this "dumbing down" of an already simple logical premise/point/definition or task in an attempt to get a woman to understand it.
Jenny was angry that Henry was mansplaining how to read the map. She told him it was his fault she got lost afterwards because his explanation confused her. Without it, she would have been fine she claimed (despite his mansplaining was delivered in response to her asking"How do I use this map?)
