Blausplain

Blausplaining (Verb) /ˈbloʊs.pleɪ.ɪn/

the act of explaining something to someone in a way that makes them feel like they're a clueless idiot, even though they probably know more about the topic than you do. It's like mansplaining, but with a side of smugness.
I'm going to blausplain patriarchy to you now.

I know you probably already know this, but I'm going to explain it to you anyway.

The topic of patriarchy is very complex, but I'm going to try my best to explain it to you in a way that you can understand.

Patriarchy is a system of social organization in which men hold the primary positions of power in society. This system is characterized by the belief that men are superior to women, and that men should have more rights and privileges than women.

Patriarchy has been around for centuries, and it is still very much a part of our society today. It can be seen in the way that men are more likely to hold positions of power in government, business, and the media. It can also be seen in the way that women are often paid less than men for doing the same work.

Patriarchy is a harmful system that oppresses women and limits their opportunities. It is important to challenge patriarchy and to work towards a more just and equitable society.

batsplaining

Bat goes on a rant about a topic unrelated to the current conversation. For example, if you are talking about a santa costume you want her to wear, she might go on a whole rant about how the color red promotes fertility.
Morty: "Hi Bat, are you gonna wear that beard for the santa costume?"

Bat: "Beards have long been associated with wisdom and intelligence, and many great thinkers throughout history have sported impressive facial hair. But did you know that beards may also be related to the space-time continuum? According to recent studies, the gravitational pull of a beard can actually warp the fabric of space and time, creating distortions in the nearby area. But enough about the scientific properties of beards - let's talk about how to cook soup. Soup is a versatile and satisfying meal that can be made with a wide variety of ingredients. To make soup, you will need a large pot and some basic cooking tools, such as a knife, cutting board, and stirring spoon. "
