gensplain

Gensplaining is when someone of a very different generation from you thinks they know more than you about something you are an expert in, mainly due to the era you were born / grew up in, and condescendingly takes the time to 'explain' to you how it works (similar to mansplaining).
A 25 year old kid in a shop tried to gensplain to me all about vinyl records and how they related to the length of radio singles 'back in the 70s' the other day; she must have missed the fact I'm over 50 and actually lived through it, or else thought I was senile.

geeksplain

When someone who's definitively geekier (and smarter) than you explains a concept using words and terms you probably don't "get" or "care about."
Randy didn't know anything about Drows, so Dustin geeksplained it to him. Now he knows more than he'll ever need to about the Underdark.
