Mansplaining on a topic when the usual audience for mansplaining is not present
TJ is mansplaining to nobody again - that group of paraplegic orphans doesn't seem to care at all about the proper way to fold a parachute.

Madsplaining

Mental health term: Offering unsolicited advice to someone who is living with mental ill-health on how they should manage their mental health (especially when it comes from peers and mental health professionals)
Examples of madsplaining include:

“Ah, you have depression? So you should (insert generic well-being advice, eg a nice cup of tea / hot bath / going for a walk / yoga / phoning a friend).”

“Oh, I tried X and it works wonders for me. Give it a go!”

For further examples and explanations of madsplaining, see (from 2013) "Madsplaining … as it was mansplained to me. On offering advice to people with mental health problems" on the @Sectioned_ blog.

magsplaining

Stating accurate, verifiable facts. Especially when these facts are inconvenient to an idiots worldview, or contradict idiotic talking points.
example magsplaining:
I once had a roommate who tried to trick the air conditioner
They also panicked that they had broken it because the “number kept changing randomly” since it changed when they pressed the buttons, changed again moments after, and then gradually changed over time. I had to tell them that the first number is the temperature setting, the second is the current temperature, and the gradual change is the current temperature changing.

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.
1. Darling, you’re mansplaining. I have a degree in electrical engineering and I know how a toaster works. But, if you thinks it’s fine, we can buy it.

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.

Mansplain Max

Breath-takingly daring levels of Mansplaining. Way above and beyond regular mansplaining.

Examples: Mansplaining Vietnamese food to a Vietnamese girl. Mansplaining metal music to the owner of a metal bar. Straight mansplaining how to come out to a gay guy.
Someone tried to tell the yoga teacher she was doing it wrong - while he fell out of crow pose like 9 times.

Was it Nick?

Yeah, that guy is Mansplain Max

Maxsplainer

Someone who is named max and loves to over-explain stuff, usually to an unbearable extent. This can be done in many contexts and scenarios, but each scenario ensures that the explainer, max, is over-explaining.

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
