Admomished

To be scolded or corrected, as an adult, by your mom or any mom.

I just got admomished for picking up my 16 year old daughter from school (as arranged with her), without discussing with the ex wife first.

adminisplain

"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.

I felt completely adminisplained during the meeting today when my manager went over the basics of our project, despite our team's extensive experience in this field.

Admin-Hall

Adjective - to commit to something or someone, only to later go back on your word without any communication whatsoever. Especially in the context of a school, where the entire administrative hallway might have promised to do something, only to later go back on their word without any communication whatsoever.

He asked Macy to prom and then pulled an Admin-Hall on her and didn't show up.

Adminsplaining

Adminsplaining: Like mansplaining but where a colleague (coincidentally often a man, but yes, not *always* because yes, not all men (sigh)) explains a thing you can do with a particular work app, whether you needed to know it or not and almost always regardless of whether you already knew about it or not.

"Hey, colleague, did you know that if you hold down cntrl when you click a link it opens in a new tab? "

"Gee, Gerry, thanks for adminsplaining that to me."

Hey, colleague, if you wear your swipe card on a lanyard then it'll always be there when you need it to get into the building.

Hey, colleague, Emails come to you inbox. Did you know that? Here let me show you.

Admin Privilege

The perceived entitlement or advantage one assumes when granted administrative powers or authority in a group, particularly in online forums or social media platforms. Often characterized by the ability to enforce rules or make decisions that favor oneself or one's viewpoints without accountability.

Example: "He banned me from the group just because I disagreed with him; typical admin privilege."
