Mansplaining

When a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing tone as if the woman is too emotional and illogical to understand.

"She got all pissed at me for no reason!" cried Ira, "Accusing me of mansplaining."
Aziz shook his head. "Women! Right?"

momsplain

When your mom over-explains things to you because she forgets that you're a goddamned adult and it's akward.

e.g. mom: "Haha! I brought home this hilarious GOP Bingo card for tonight's debate. See, it's a bingo card, but it has expressions or words the candidates might use. When they say them, you drink a shot! It's so funny! Of course you don't HAVE to drink." you: Yeah, Mom, I knew what you meant when you said bingo. Because I know what bingo is. You don't have to momsplain it."

Mansplaining

When unsolicited advice or direction is given to a woman by a man in a condescending manner. The reasons typically being, the man does not believe the woman is capable of completing the task independently and must need guidance.

"You're not doing that how I would do it so I'm going to bother you with my directions and opinions even though I am in no way a superior and you did not ask for clarification. There is no way you are capable of doing this by yourself and must be ignorant so you have to rely on my constant guidance."

"uh, I think I got it.. thanks."

momsplaining

Explaining something you know is untrue to a child in a condescending voice.

Ever since I realized my face wouldn't freeze in a funny look, I've been able to ignore her momsplaining.

Digital Mansplainer

Someone who uses the medium of their personal website, Twitter bio or Linkedin profile to tell you something you already fully understand.

For example - I might mention that I’m “hangry” (hungry + angry)—this means I haven’t eaten in a few hours.

Did you see what he wrote on his Linkedin page? He is a Digital Mansplainer.

Correct. He is a tosser.

Mansplaining

A blend of man and explain. When a person explains something to another about a subject on which the latter is more knowledgeable. Usually the word describes a conversation in which, due to sexist bias, a man automatically assumes he is more knowledgeable than the woman he is talking to.

Man: "Let me explain you something-"
Woman: "Dude. I have a PhD in this subject. I'm pretty sure I know more about it than you do."
Man: "Yeah,you have a PhD, but hear me out-"
Woman: "Do you realise you are mansplaining right now?"
