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.

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...

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.

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!
