Tardsplaining

Whenever someone who has no idea what they’re talking about tries to explain something. Instead of giving further information they just get loud and angry silencing their opposition. People who tardsplain once are likely to do it constantly and can often fool fellow tards into thinking they are smart.
David: That tony douche is a real tardsplainer, he tries tardsplaining everything, and just talks like a pompous fag.
Dylan: yeah, Tony’s fucked up, his shits all retarded and he talks like a fag.

crosplaining

the explanation of behavior, generally deemed unacceptable in Western countries, by a Croatian typically from Croatia, to an expat, member of the diaspora, or a tourist, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.
Expat #1: "I waited two hours at MUP (Croatia Police) for my number to get called. Even though I brought all of the required supporting documents for my temporary residency, which are listed on their website; the woman at the counter rudely told me I was missing x, y and z. Now I have to make a another trip. What a waste of time!"

Croatian: "Welcome to Croatia! The woman at the counter probably has a terrible boss and doesn't get paid very much. Therefore, she is unhappy and does not care about doing a good job. I'm not excusing her behavior - just trying to explain to you that this is how it is in Croatia."

LATER:

Expat #1: "I wasted two hours at MUP today only to find out that I didn't have everything I needed for my temporary residency. This would never happen in the US! Can you imagine?

Expat #2: It sure wouldn't! How does this country even operate? How many people actually get what they need at MUP on the first try? Nobody!

Expat #1: And then (Croatian) was crosplaining to me that the woman at the counter was rude because she is unhappy at her job!
