Get the adminize mug."Adminisplain" is a portmanteau combining "administrate" or "administrator" and "explain," much like how "mansplain" is derived from "man" and "explain." The word "adminisplain" can be defined as follows:
Adminisplain (verb): The act of an administrator, boss, or managerial figure condescendingly explaining something to employees or subordinates who are already highly knowledgeable or skilled in their specific field of expertise. This often implies that the explainer underestimates the expertise of the listener or feels the need to assert authority or control in a situation where it may be unnecessary or unwelcome.
