Deanplaining 

When someone is complaining (normally named Dean) for the sake of complaining, even when they are happy with the outcome.
James: How good was that workout class we just did we're going to be swole after that!
Dean: That was the worst thing ever I literally never want to do that again, See you there next week!
James: You complain so much, they should change the word from complaining to deanplaining.
Dean: Sheeesh

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...

Delsplaining 

To Delsplain is to continually talk bullshit to a YouTube audience. Someone Delsplaining will generally be seen to make things up on the go. They usually have no knowledge of the subject they try to teach, they then do it in an unsafe manner.
Did you see that video of John mending his mobility scooter! He had no idea how to fit that wheel but as usual he just kept Delsplaining as usual. But hey you already knew that!

dansplaining 

When you explain something others probably know more about because you're inherently a cunt called Dan.
Oh for fucks sake, did he really just start Dansplaining that to me? I need to leave.

dansplaining 

When a blond swiss guy unnecessarily corrects or completes what someone is saying in a pompous, presumptuous and sometimes even slightly insolent manner
Stop explaining how the Federal Assembly works, what you are saying isn't even entirely correct.

Someone has to tell that swiss blond guy to stop correcting people eventhough they didn't ask for it. It's dansplaining and it is annoying everyone!

dansplaining 

To give overly complicated answers to questions by using a lot of technical terms in an effort to belittle others and make yourself sound intelligent. Often coupled with constant interruptions and a condescending tone.
I just got ear bashed for half an hour of dansplaining when I asked how to tune the telly.

Demsplaining 

aka fact-checking - the act of explaining how unwoke and ignorant someone is when they point out obvious issues, stupidity, and hypocrisy of progressive ideals.
Someone posted an article demsplaining the picture I posted of a gas generator charging an electric car.
