Medsplain

When an absolute idiot thinks they understand something medical or health related and goes crazy explaining it over their social media. In reality they'll probably end up with mega-AIDS with their terrible ideas, so medsplainers are to be avoided and feared. Someone can be a medsplainer, can medsplain, or medsplaining.

My sister tried to medsplain to me that onions in my socks will cure cancer and now my stupid socks smell like onions.

Mansplaining

A man explaining something to a woman in a way that is patronizing because it assumes that the woman will be ignorant of the subject matter.

Woman speaking to another woman: “ I don’t want to drink too much tonight, I have to work in the morning.”

Man standing near them at the bar: “ Actually if you drink a glass of water and take an ibuprofen before you go to bed you won’t be hungover.”

Woman: “Thank you for mansplaining, but I’m less concerned with alcohol induced dehydration and more concerned with getting to bed at a decent hour.”

Maclain

A very handsome and adorable man. Always laughing and enjoying life. You never see a Maclain not being protective and will love you with all his heart. He's smoking hot in glasses and even though he might be dramatic sometimes he always knows how to cheer you up. He gets along with everybody and is one of the best guys you will ever meet. He's also a amazing boyfriend and has perfect blue eyes you can get lost in.

Girl 1: My boyfriend is so hot oh my gosh he told me I looked hot!

Girl 2: Well look at my guy Maclain in glasses and he always says i'm beautiful.

Girl 3: OMG i'm so jealous! He's so hot

hot tall cute protective perfect amazing futureboyfriend

maysplaining

When some one asks you a question and you skirt around answering it until you confuse the person that asked you the question.

Theresa May in question time is asked a question by the audience and she ends up not answering the question by maysplaining about something completely different.

Mansplaining

When a man feels compelled to condescendingly explain something to a woman on a topic that any reasonable person could see she knows more about than he does.

"That's not what mansplaining means. Mansplaining is..." he mansplains.

mansplain

Quite regularly, during team meetings in front of every else, when a woman who is reporting on her own project work with which she is most experienced with and has worked in the field for over twenty years, another peer always feels the need to "complete" her sentences mid-way, talks over her, hijacks her time to shine, taking over the explanations, progress report, issue deconstruction, evaluation, or review, thinking that even though they only have one fifth of the experience, knows little to nothing of her project work in detail, they must though have the knowledge to report on the woman's work better than she can.

She (as the lead scientist): To report on my findings of the project work I have been completing for the past month,

He (as the apprentice): <interrupting> the results show... bladibla…

Her peers: rolling their eyes, internally thinking (there he goes again, mansplaining...what a narcissist!)
