Boomsplain 

To mansplain something except not from a man, but from someone born from 1946-1964, otherwise known as Boomer.

My boomer friend had to boomsplain what *Hot Potato* was to me the other day. He said, "The game Hot Potato is a classic game from many of us older guys' youth....

....The rules for Hot Potato are 'Gather a group of 3 or more people. One person will sit out and play music on their phone or a radio for as long as they want while everyone in the group passes a potato around the circle. Whoever is holding the potato when the music stops loses the round. Keep playing until one winner remains!'"

Boomersplain

When someone over explains and speaks down to a younger generation. Does not have to involve a boomer.

Boomer: When I was a kid, we went outside to have fun- Oh, you probably don't even know what that is. It's what you'd see if you ever pulled your head out of your phone!
Gen Z: Yeah Carol, stop boomersplaining, I obviously fucking know what outside is.

Botsplaining is similar to mansplaining, except that the actor in this case is an AI chatbot. While attempting to use the tool to explore unusual ideas and concepts, the bot will continuously interrupt the conversation in order to condescendingly interject comments such as "it is crucial to understand that diverse viewpoints exist" as if you were clearly such a dolt that you didn't understand that talking about one viewpoint does not amount to forgetting that other viewpoints exist.

Yesterday, it was botsplained to me by ChatGPT that diversity exists in the world.

boomersplaining 

When baby boomers use their own, often outdated, personal experience to talk down on younger people, especially millennials.

Person A: "Dang, it's tough to afford college, land a job, and buy a house."

Person B: "Stop complaining, when I was your age, I worked a summer job to pay for college! Stop eating avocado toast and you might be able to afford a house!"

Person A: "Uh, thanks for boomersplaining but things are different today."

Bossplain 

When your employer explains something to you and you just have to sit there and take it like a bitch because they pay you. The subject Bossplained is typically common knowledge dropped like it's profound and being said for the first time ever, an arbitrary matter of opinion, or a correction where your employer has limited knowledge or is simply wrong.

"God damn it, I just mentioned taking my kid to the soccer game and Steve bossplained to me that soccer is the incorrect word for the sport and that everywhere except for the United States, where we live, calls it football. I don't think that dipshit has ever been to another country"
