Condescending explanations of phenomena given by linguists or college graduates with half-baked understanding of linguistics. Lingsplainations usually affect a high degree of irritation in their recipients and result in re-purposing of books by Derrida, Foucault, etc. as toilet paper.
I was confused by the situation until at last it was lingsplained to me. Now I feel relieved ... and want to ram my head into a tree.

Get the lingling weng mug.Destroying a language by using it incorrectly or in a way that is not in line or accordance with its rules, conventions, etc.
In the University of Excellence in English Language and Language Arts, Joe was convicted of first-degree linguistic terrorism by the University's faculty and superintendent when he wrote an entire research paper (53 pages to be precise) in which he used the word "then" in every place where he should've used "than" and misspelling every word in the last 25 pages. He was accordingly given a 25-year sentence (instead of a 10 non-decillion one, which the superintendent was very tempted to give) in order for him to learn his lesson and in order to warn others that the English language will be rigorously and strictly preserved at all costs.
