When someone tells you how to craft your sandwich, as if they have a superior knowledge of the sandwich arts.
1: You know, the pickles should be sliced vertically on top of the mustard, and you really should use shredded iceberg lettuce---
2: Stop sandwich-splaining! Next are you going to tell me I have to cut it in half diagonally?!?
1: Yes, yes I am.

URL-splaining (aka linksplaining) is when you instead of engaging in conversation online, you post a link of an article which serves as a proxy for actual conersation.

2. When a white person commits a heinous act only to have it explained away by other way people as "not that bad" or is otherwise given the benefit of the doubt in a way that would not never happen for anybody who wasn't white.
3. Actually it doesn't even have to be a heinous act. It can even be normal behavior. Like the way they admire other white people from Europe. They would break their necks trying to help someone who speaks French or German. Let someone speak Spanish and they just shout something like, "Speak English!"
Ex. Mexicans are "foreigners" or "immigrants" (even thought they're actually from the same continent!) but white people from Europe are "travelers" or "expats".

Real life examples of White-'splaining:
Real Life Example 1: White man who is the father of 2 was found guilty of possessing kiddie porn.
Response from another white person: "Just because he had kiddie porn doesn't mean he was a bad father - unless it was his kids in the pictures."
Real Life Example 2: Those black people just keep shooting each other. Their neighborhoods are filled with crime. We should lock them all up.
Response from white people after Columbine, Newtown, Chris Benoit and every other white mass shooting: This a terrible tragedy but there's nothing we can do about it. It just happened.
Random Example 3: White guy robs a bank: He was at the end of his rope trying to feed his family. Mexican guy robs a bank: Those people shouldn't be here anyway.

So I was man-splaining to my wife that toothpaste is best squeezed from the bottom and not from the middle of the tube.

1. When someone explains in great detail about a subject, or how to do do something despite the victim have a sufficient amount of knowledge and/or experience.
2. When you are told to do something, despite already doing it or are just about to do what has been asked already.
Will-splaining is usually accompanied along side words such as "mate" or "dude".
Will-splaining is often followed by a rear naked training dit-lock.

1.
LC3: "Red means port doesn't it?"
Will: "yeh mate, red is always used to show port, for example; in a marked channel the port side will be marked with red marker boys. However you'll need to keep in mind the direction you are travelling in and what zone you're in, in the UK the bouyage system will "welcome you in" so as you come into port the red port marker boys will be on your left but as you leave to go to sea they will be on your starboard side. You understand dude?"
LC3: "Cheers for Will-splaining that to me..."
2.
LC3: *driving a boat on a course 160 degrees at 20kts coming up to an obvious port turn in a channel, and is planning to turn*
Will: "alright mate just keep on a course of 260 degrees, make sure you're going 20kts and don't alter course as we'll cause a pendulum effect. Also when we get to that pair of marker bouys make sure you turn to port or we'll end up outside the channel, happy mate?"

When a person of another culture starts explaining how their culture works before even realizing that you might know what it is.
