Dadsplaining 

Any sentence spoken by a dad to persons younger than himself that begins with, "When I was your age," or, "I'll tell you why that is," or, "If you were smart, here's what you'd do..."
My dad says that when he was my age, phones had cords on them and there was a thing called "long distance." He's been Dadsplaining the old days at me all morning.

Dadsplaining 

When a father or dad starts a sentence with, "I think you'll find"........then proceeds to impress his audience with his array of knowledge, facts and information to ensure that he thinks he is smarter than everyone in the room and that you are only as smart as dog shit.
I think you'll find that dadsplaining means I'm full of shit and I'm just trying to sound smart

dadsplaining 

When, upon confirming his target does in fact know how to do something, a dad explains it anyways.
Dad: Hey son, I think it would be good to know how to change a tire in case of emergency.

Son: I actually know how to do that. I popped a tire last year and luckily had a spare. YouTube is super helpful.

Dad: So the first thing you're going to want to do is...

Son: Please stop dadsplaining this to me!

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.
