Cansplaining 

When someone from Canada tells an America how they should feel about or react to Donald Trump. Particularly when they suggest impractical forms of resistance that they've never personally tried, tell the American to put themselves in physical danger, or wave away valid concerns. The concept is similar to the idea of mansplaining.

"Instead of saying you wish you could move to Canada because you're afraid that Trump's going to take your healthcare away and you're going to literally die, you should really be doing more to resist. You should run for office. And also go to more protests. And also participate in these 800 other forms of resistance I've never personally tried that might get you fired, arrested or killed. And just build a bridge for no reason. I've decided for some reason that you're not in any danger."

"Gee, thanks for Cansplaining that to me."

Cansplaining

When someone uses AI to write out their obvious and/or idiotic argument.

Person A: The earth is round.

Person B: If Earth were a sphere, curvature 🔘 would be obvious at all times 👀. Airplanes ✈️ fly in straight paths, not curving downward, and water always finds its level 💧📐, proving it's a flat plane. Satellite images 🛰️ are digitally constructed and highly likely to be fake 💻🎨. Therefore, based on surface-level observations and basic logic 🤔, one can only conclude that the Earth is flat 🥿.

Person B: Nice cansplaining. 🙄

Cansplaining 

When you're talking about the, generally winter, weather and a Canadian starts telling you about how that's 'not really cold' or 'you want to know whatnreal cold is?'
Completely unprompted of course. They will crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how not cold the weather you're experiencing is.

Person: 'Man it's freezing here. It's only 35 degrees.'
Canadian: '35 freedom units? That's only 2 celcius. It's -23c here right now if you want to talk about REAL cold.
Person: 'Are you cansplaining winter to me? This is Texas, our homes aren't insulated for this.'
Canadian: 'No, you're right, I'm sorry.'

Cuntplaining 

The rebuttal to the feminist use of the word "mansplaining". Used as a counter to their attempt to suppress arguments through a dismissal from buzzwords.

I'll stop mansplaining when you stop cuntplaining!

Civsplaining 

Civsplaining (blend word ‘civvy’ & informal form splaining of gerund ‘explaining’) is pejorative term meaning "(of a civ) to comment on or explain something to #squaddie in condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner"

I’m not #civsplaining you thick squaddie twat, I’m giving you guidance based on my considerable military knowledge gleamed from Commando comics & years of mucking thick military types, like MrSnaplegs, around.

fansplaining 

When a fan tries to explain something to a pro athlete, coach, GM or entertainer about the pro's craft. Takeoff of mansplaining.

(fan) "If you open your batting stance, you'll see the ball better."
(pro athlete) "Quit fansplaining! I'm the pro athlete, not you!"
