Cansplaining

When you're talking about the, generally winter, weather and a Canadian starts telling you about how that's 'not really cold' or 'you want to know whatnreal cold is?'
Completely unprompted of course. They will crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how not cold the weather you're experiencing is.
Person: 'Man it's freezing here. It's only 35 degrees.'
Canadian: '35 freedom units? That's only 2 celcius. It's -23c here right now if you want to talk about REAL cold.
Person: 'Are you cansplaining winter to me? This is Texas, our homes aren't insulated for this.'
Canadian: 'No, you're right, I'm sorry.'

Mansplaining

Mansplaining (verb) - The heroic act of a man patiently explaining, with logic, something not that complex to a woman who insists she already knows-but clearly doesn't. Often met with eye rolls, contridictions, and an unshakable confidence in her incorrect opinion.
Man did you see nphoenixcrimefighter trying to explain what Mansplaining is to Stacy the other night? It's not that hard, but she was being intentionally obtuse. That man has the patience of a saint.

mansplaining

I was literally forced into mansplaining to Terri about some conflicting information because she never reads my emails.

mansplaining

Mansplaining is an add-on service provided by men when trying to communicate with women. This add-on is rarely offered when communicating with other men, as it is assumed that men prefer to receive information with complete technical accuracy. The only add-on service sometimes offered to other men is background elaboration, which augments the technical content with how it all came to be that way. Men generally don't offer background elaboration service to women, as it often results in things being thrown at them. To date, mansplaining has no standards specification and remains completely ad-hoc, varying widely among service providers. That is due, in large part, to the inherent difficulty interpreting the feedback from the recipient, as it is invariably contradictory to the quality of service.

Mansplaining planner

A board with a calendar used to plan methodically when to do mansplaining, choosing the topic and the victim
Mildred: I would swear that man owns a mansplaining planner because he always mansplains to me from Monday to Friday at the same hour about what feminism is and what it isn't. I always receive his condescending tutelage on this topic at 17:19 sharp.
Gertrude: Same topic at the same hour?
Mildred: Indeed, Gertrude, indeed.
Gertrude: And what about Saturday and Sunday?
Mildred: A mercy, I assume. He must think I need to have a rest!
