Cansplaining

When you're talking about the, generally winter, weather and a Canadian starts telling you about how that's 'not really cold' or 'you want to know whatnreal cold is?'
Completely unprompted of course. They will crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how not cold the weather you're experiencing is.
Person: 'Man it's freezing here. It's only 35 degrees.'
Canadian: '35 freedom units? That's only 2 celcius. It's -23c here right now if you want to talk about REAL cold.
Person: 'Are you cansplaining winter to me? This is Texas, our homes aren't insulated for this.'
Canadian: 'No, you're right, I'm sorry.'

Usually how someone complains about "Mansplaining" or "Giving an explanation that is unsolicited, or unwanted"
Person who is Cuntplaining: "Ugh, trying to print a document, why is MS Word such a PITA..."

Also Cuntsplainer: "I wish people would stop talking to me like I don't know what I'm doing... #Mansplaining"

Codesplaining

To be Nick Bo and type too much about the code without showing what the code does. This is being too studious and dumb.
"Nick bo, you need to stop codesplaining and let the code do the work."

complaining

the human female equivalent of mansplaining. Complaining is the principal female response to the fact that there are things in the universe that they cannot control. Although the genetic phenotype for complaining is present in all humans, it is repressed to varying degrees by the presence of a Y chromosome due to the selective advantage that complaining holds over mansplaining. In short, the burden of perpetuating the human genome falls much more upon females than it does on males; and it is substantially safer to complain about one’s lack of control over objects and events in the universe and do nothing about it, than it is to mansplain the universe to the ends of trying to change it. The phenotypic distinction between males and females in regard to the complain/mansplain dichotomy is observable in the typical male’s reaction to female complaining consisting of attempting to “fix” the thing being complained about, rather than taking the safe route of simply pretending to listen and then doing nothing.
Female- This definition of complaining is stupid.
Male- Well it makes some interesting points about the utility of complaining versus mansplaining.
Female- Now you're stupid.
Male- I understand.
