Demasplain

Sort of like "mansplaining," but when a Democrat (likely a female liberal arts college graduate) explains to you, without being asked, how you feel about everything from politics to the economy. She will also expertly explain your job to you, whether it's farming, construction, running a small business, or working in a warehouse, manufacturing, or restaurant.

While hosting my sister-in-law, Jessica, the social worker, for dinner, I was grateful to have her “Demasplain” how I felt about all current political happenings and also how I should do my job as an auto detailer.

Seamus PatrickBarrett - oh sorry didn't mean to bust you out for you d--- riding using profanity. I guess wise master typo hunters don't use the naughty words. I can't never be so good at words as you.😣 again, thank you for your magnificent whitesplaining.

Justin Von Striver - I'm going to coin the term #dumbsplaining in your honor, Seamus.

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

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!

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

Software developers are very smart. They are the smartest people they know. Therefore, they know everything, and they're going to explain it to you.

Unlike me, Chad had never been to France, but he devsplained to me exactly how to order in a French restaurant. I'm so grateful for Chad's insight.
