Execsplain

When an executive authoritatively explains basic concepts to non-executives to mask the absence of proficiency in their job. Often delivered in a condescending way, so as to provoke an emotional response, thereby shifting blame to the audience, further obfuscating their lack of qualifications.

Did you hear the CMO execsplain Github to those engineers? I wonder if they have any work to do?

execusplain

Very similar to mansplaining where an executive delivers a completely inaccurate description of a topic, with complete confidence that he or she's right. The big problem with execusplaining is that the executive is delivering the nonsense to subordinates, they are loath to disagree for fear of getting fired.

Even though most of his team had already worked at high-tech startups, the VP felt the need to execusplain how startups build products.

exexplainiable

for an unknown imprudent reason

"Bro you smoked all my hash?"

"It was there, I was here, it's just exexplainiable."

"As if somebody whispered, 'Smoke me.....' ."
