Dogsplaining

1) The different barks, tail wags and motions a dog uses to get the attention of their owner for food, to go to the bathroom, to go for a walk or to play.

2) The rhetorical questions people ask their dogs using baby talk as they care for them. Of course the dog can't answer, but the talk pleases their owners.

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.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
