Faithsplaining 

The act of someone from outside a religion trying to explain aspects of that religion to someone who practices it. Note: It isn't always derogatory not everyone reads their own holy book and not every outsider is ill informed, but it does often come off as annoying to the person receiving the explanation.
Buddhist: "So yeah my religion is Buddhism"

Atheist: "Akshually Buddhism isn't a religion"

*The Buddhist in a full Kasaya and shaven bald*

Buddhist: "Are you literally Faithsplaining to a monk?"

factsplaining

fact·splain | \ ˈfact-ˌsplān

\

factsplained; factsplaining

Definition of factsplain
transitive + intransitive

: the uninvited and condescending effort of a third party (usually, though not always, on social media platforms) to offer extraneous information (“context”) or further explanation on a given subject/topic, while invariably posing itself as objectively factual, despite its content and purpose invariably being the promotion or defense of a partisan (progressive, leftist) idea, premise, value, cause, figure, etc.

It is often characterized by cloaking subjective opinions and partisan perspectives amidst the excessive use of officious-sounding terms and declarations such as “Ruling” “Context” “Evidence” “Credible” “Finding” “Determination” “Conclusion” “Result”, etc. or may strive to confirm or deny information on the basis of mere nuance, minor technicalities, irrelevancies, or other specious rationale.

In both form and content, factsplaining attempts to discredit the original information, although rarely if ever actually doing so, and its presence therefore may best be understood as a strong indicator of the original content’s truth or accuracy.

Prominent factsplainers: Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, Reuters, AP

See also: bias, propaganda, spin, gaslighting, censorship, partisanship
“I shared that post about Bernie Sanders owning 3 homes, but the factsplaining said it wasn’t true - his wife actually is actually a co-owner as well…”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
