Mansplaining

When a man speaks to a woman exactly the same way he speaks to a man: somewhat mockingly, somewhat condescendingly, somewhat confrontationally. Ironically, feminists who champion equality among the sexes, expect men to change how they speak to accommodate their feminine sensibilities.

Woman: I don't feel conservatives care enough about social justice.
Man: That's ridiculous! That's just SJW propaganda. There can never be social justice if individual justice is ignored.

Woman: Stop mansplaining, you big jerk!

Mansplaining

Mansplaining as an accusation of someone being patronizing while the accuser is choosing to be sexist themselves.

Feminists tend to use the term as a backlash while also letting out pent up frustration at males in society.

Guy: Hey did you know that the pill is known to cause...
Lady: I don't need someone mansplaining to me about female things!
Guy: Letting me know that you already know that would be fine, but since you didn't hear me out, I'll assume that you just wanted to be sexist.

mansplainterrupt

Verb: When a man inserts himself into a full-blown conversation that had previously involved only women, in order to mansplain something related to the topic they're discussing. Often a reflexive reaction to discourse that would pass the Bechdel Test if it were a movie (because it doesn't involve the man who's overhearing it).

Dude, you just mansplainterrupted a League of Women Voters meeting to tell them about the history of suffrage.

Pitsplain

When a news story identifies the breed in a gruesome dog attack as a pit bull, and the comments are immediately overwhelmed by defenders of the breed, who blame the owner or the stigma and show no regard for the victim.

My 3 year daughter old lost her arm to an unprovoked pit bull, but instead of sympathy for the kid, there was just a bunch of pitsplaining.

Dansplain

When someone says a string of words (mostly real english words) that almost make sense, but the more you read it, the less sense it makes.

I had to Dansplain to Marjory in a work group text that no one cares her phone battery is low.

dansplaining

When you explain something others probably know more about because you're inherently a cunt called Dan.

Oh for fucks sake, did he really just start Dansplaining that to me? I need to leave.

Tansplain

When a Brit who is abysmally clueless and oblivious about all things Irish explains pompously and condescendingly to an Irish person about his or her own country's history and geography, in a way which only serves to highlight the Brit's total ignorance. Named after the black and tan militia.

Boris: "Look, you're part of the British Isles, which means you are a British Isle, not a separate country, you belong to us and you really should know your place."

Pat: "Nice tansplaining, Boris."
