Athesplaining 

Athesplaining is a derogatory term that describes when an anthiest explains something to a christian in a condescending, patronizing, or overconfident way, often assuming the christian lacks knowledge or is stupid. It can also involve interrupting the christian while she or he is talking. The term is a combination of the words "atheist" and "explaining".
The atheist did a great deal of athesplaining on his social media account when Christians worldwide were offended by the depiction of “The Lord’s Supper” during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

ablesplaining

Ablesplaining is a patronizing "explanation" of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. An ablesplainer's opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!

i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."

"But you don't look like you have a disability!"

"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."

"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."

"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."

agesplaining 

Like mansplaining, this occurs when someone who is older or grew up in a different time/generation tries to explain something without realizing that the younger person they are talking to knows more on that topic than they do.

Valid for use when the person perceives themself as being older whether they actually are or not and still explains in the same condescending fashion.

Also used for when the elder explains something that no longer is culturally valid in our society, such as the means for a student in the US to be able to be debt-free when graduating. Often the agesplained statement comes after "when I was your age."
Augustus was agesplaining saving for retirement, little did he know that I've had a retirement account since my 18th birthday, longer than he claims to have started saving.
