Draxsplaining

To misunderstand what someone is saying; taking what they said too literally. Then responding to what they said based on your very literal interpretation.

Lawrence: ::Drops plate on ground::
Emily: (scared and jarred from the loud noise) "Ouch! That's loud!"
Lawrence: "I do not believe the decibel levels created by the dropping plate are sufficient to damage your hearing in any meaningful way. Do not be alarmed."
Emily: "You're draxsplaining again, Lawrence"

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.

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.

Dadsplaining

Any sentence spoken by a dad to persons younger than himself that begins with, "When I was your age," or, "I'll tell you why that is," or, "If you were smart, here's what you'd do..."

My dad says that when he was my age, phones had cords on them and there was a thing called "long distance." He's been Dadsplaining the old days at me all morning.

Dadsplaining

When a father or dad starts a sentence with, "I think you'll find"........then proceeds to impress his audience with his array of knowledge, facts and information to ensure that he thinks he is smarter than everyone in the room and that you are only as smart as dog shit.

I think you'll find that dadsplaining means I'm full of shit and I'm just trying to sound smart
