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.

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.

mansplanation mark

a word or utterance that would typically introduce a rebuttal but has been abandoned upon the realization that one was or will be wrong if speaking continues
"Actually...", she waited, sure even after seconds of awkward silence that the mansplanation mark would be carried to term if she were to reply before giving him time to mourn. It was sure to be another pyrrhic victory - her argument was sound and would ultimately prevail, but the deafening silence was the war drumming of his loss to his own embarrassment.

Maxsplaining

When you trap your life long formula one rival in order to explain every little detail about your race or quali session to them without a chance of escape.

Not to be confused with Mansplaining, while similar, Maxsplaining presents clear homoerotic undertones and heart eyes from both parties involved.
person 1: where's Charles?
person 2: oh, Max got him, he already started the Maxsplaining

person 1: damn, that's a shame, there's no saving him now...
