hansplaining 

Stating inaccurate facts about China. Conveniently repeating Chinese Communist Party propaganda worldview. They can be often located in their ideological bubble on Weibo (Twitter copy) or other CCP run social media pages, in rare cases you can meet them in the wild in Mass Media comment sections as well as Facebook and Twitter comments.
Their meeting and support group has its western HQ on r/Sino where they're sharing the newest fake news, CCP propaganda and secretly plotting on how to take over the world, just to miserably fail every time like Pinky and the Brain.
Any rational person: "China is running concentration camps and they're rounding up millions of Uighur's, it's coming close to a genocide"

Lin starting his hansplaining: "no ,no . is no like it, you just don't understand Chainer, is vocational camps with Chinese characteristics" and continues to hansplain how forcing Muslims to burn their holy books, drinking alcohol and eating pork is a good thing to fight alleged terror.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
