Shining Time Station

A children's TV show that originally premiered on PBS from 1989-1993, with Thomas the Tank Engine stories coupled with segments involving real-life actors. It was actually a very funny and well-done show for its time. Both George Carlin and Ringo Starr were even separately featured on the show as well, each playing train conductors.

As of this entry, reruns of the show can now be seen on the Disney Channel.
Shining Time Station was one of the most unique shows in the 90's, combining model animation with real-life actors. (It's also the only way you can see a family-friendly George Carlin.)

Nola-splaining

When someone tells you how shit you are at something, without acknowledging you’re feelings, or the fact that you don’t care about this opinion.
It’s only Nola-splaining when the opinion is in no way whatsoever constructive or useful
P1: “oh look, I made this drawing
P2: “it’s really bad”
P1: “what? Why?”
P2: “it just... looks bad.”
P3: “god she’s Nola-splaining again.”

Splaining

Explaining something in a slightly condescending, patronizing manner, while a) assuming the person you're talking to isn't knowledgeable about the subject, b) likely believing you know more about it than you actually do, and c) thinking they must need to hear your wisdom.

Can be used as a suffix to indicate the topic being 'splained, e.g., dog-splaining, car-splaining
#1)

"I just got a puppy and you would not believe how many people dog-splain to me how I should train it or what its breed is like. They all think they're expert animal trainers."

#2)

Person A: "Hey man, I got a chance to look at your YouTube videos. You know, channels get more views when they have attention grabbing thumbnails. You might want to try that. Also, one way to get more engagement is to have an introduction that..."

Person B: "Dude, stop YouTube-splaining me. I run my own channel. You think I don't know about all that stuff already?"

In Shining Armor

The most useless perk in Fallout New Vegas, added by the Dead Money DLC. Available at Level 2, for some reason, and requires 20 Repair, and 70 Science skill points. All because of one programming error, it has become the most infamous perk ever to exist since Here and Now. Even if you use unofficial bug fixes, it's still useless.
Person1: Oh boy! I levelled up! Should i take In Shining Armor? It sounds cool, since i wear Metal Armor!
Person2: Dude, don't take that one. Don't waste your perk point on this one.
