Dawgsplaining 

Dawgsplaining, Dawg spraining, Dawg-splaining:

The immature whining of a weak minded , delusional college fan base uttering constant and unfounded complaints concerning officiating ,usually involving whiny, nasal, crying sounds, due to a loss from being out played and/or out coached by superior opponent. Typical of a fan base that walks around with “Alabama swagger but has a Tiny Trophy case.”
“After three consecutive collapses and humiliating defeats at the hands of the Crimson Tide, I needed ear plugs at the Piggly Wiggly checkout line to drown out the incessant Dawgsplaining from the loser uga fans! “

dansplanation 

When a Danish person uses a combination of patriotism and limited knowledge of the non-Danish world to explain Danish society to a foreigner. This foreigner may be a tourist or a resident immigrant.
"Here in Denmark, we eat Danish rye bread. All of the children eat it every day. I don't know why and we don't think about it. That's just the way it is."

"Here in Denmark, all women hold jobs and work as equals to the men" is a dansplanation because it assumes that someone from another country or culture has a different experience.

devsplaining 

When a software developer explains why the application (formally known as, 'teh codes') acts in a certain way that is surprising to the non-technical user.

Often the engineer will accidentally come off as arrogant or boorish. This may be to compensate for the fact they are trying to pass off a bug as intended behavior.... or that they are just as confused by this behavior as the end-user.

parallel to mansplaining or mansplain
Kenneth the brogrammer was devsplaining why the calendar picker used EDT vs. EST, even though he really had no idea there was a difference...

Dadsplaining 

When a father answers his child's question, no matter how simple, with undesired and tangentially relevant information and life advise.
I asked my dad where the spare tire was and he must have gone on for half an hour dadsplaining how to change it. I'll be damned if that information didn't come in handy a couple months later.
