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.

Kenneth the brogrammer was devsplaining why the calendar picker used EDT vs. EST, even though he really had no idea there was a difference...

Dadsplaining

When a father answers his child's question, no matter how simple, with undesired and tangentially relevant information and life advise.

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.

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.

My golden retriever ran into my room with his leash, he was dogsplaining that he had to poop.

Consplaining

Consplaining (Con SPLAn ing) -Adjective

When someone with similar or less knowledge and qualifications on a topic tries to explain something YOU know more or just as much about. All without being asked too or while repeating something you've already said ,sometimes using more complicated terminology to seem superior in a group of others.

|Example 1|Gina: Martha was consplaining to the new hire how to use Microsoft excel...
Sam: But she doesn't even know how to use it??!!

|Example 2| Lee: I was talking to this girl I met about jojos bizarre adventure when this dude came up and started consplaining to her about Diamond is Unbreakable. She embraced the hell out of him when she started asking about speed wagon and he had no idea what she was talking about.

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.
