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!)

Faceplaint

Using the social media site Facebook to vent and complain in status updates. Furthermore, a faceplainter is someone who regularly posts faceplaints, annoying their friends almost daily with negative, trivial personal problems.
My "friend" complained yet again on facebook today. Her faceplaint post read: "I have such a headache and have to work until 3, wish I could go home and nap but I have to take the dog for a walk and then make myself dinner because my roomate can't cook and then I'll take a cold shower because the neighbor uses all the hot water and my hair will be fizzy just like it was today. Urg - I hate Monday to Saturday".

V. - to explain something very simple in a very long winded nonsensical way so that everyone involved is now utterly confused and questioning why you exist.

dansplaining

When a blond swiss guy unnecessarily corrects or completes what someone is saying in a pompous, presumptuous and sometimes even slightly insolent manner
Stop explaining how the Federal Assembly works, what you are saying isn't even entirely correct.

Someone has to tell that swiss blond guy to stop correcting people eventhough they didn't ask for it. It's dansplaining and it is annoying everyone!
