Get the Explaining Hentai to Hitler mug.The act of wasting time and resources explaining something so fundamentally basic that anyone with half a brain already understands it, usually performed by someone who thinks they're being helpful but is actually being condescending. This phrase is invoked when someone launches into a lengthy tutorial on a topic that everyone in the room already mastered in kindergarten. It's the verbal equivalent of mansplaining, but for basic concepts. The classic response to "let me explain how this works" when you've been doing it successfully for decades. Also used in corporate settings when a new hire spends an hour explaining their "innovative" idea that's literally just how things are already done.
Example: "My new coworker spent 20 minutes explaining what a PDF is during the meeting. I wanted to say, 'Dude, we don't need you to explain what a wheel is, how a wheel works, and how to build a wheel—just attach the file and send it.' But I smiled and nodded, because that's what you do when someone is trying to be helpful but is actually wasting everyone's time."
