A term used to describe what is considered a male behavioural tendency when talking to females to overexplain, to talk down to or in a condescending manner, often with the assumption that the female interlocutor lacks knowledge or is unable to understand or comprehend complex subjects or logical thinking.
Sometimes also associated with prideful male pontification and a desire to appear knowledgable, and often linked to a tendency to ignore the central or most important issue(s) at hand and focus on or divert the conversation to easy to quantify but non crucial elements.
The term is also noted for the strong reaction it often engenders.

1. Darling, you’re mansplaining. I have a degree in electrical engineering and I know how a toaster works. But, if you thinks it’s fine, we can buy it.
2. He was so busy mansplaining how important the side mirrors are, he backed into the neighbour’s car.
3. I don’t care how the gun works, just stop mansplaining it and let me watch the movie.

Breath-takingly daring levels of Mansplaining. Way above and beyond regular mansplaining.
Examples: Mansplaining Vietnamese food to a Vietnamese girl. Mansplaining metal music to the owner of a metal bar. Straight mansplaining how to come out to a gay guy.

if your ever in trouble with a girl or even sometimes this works with dudes I need you to find the stupidest yet most logical way to say it. First It has to be unnecessarily long second it has to be semi relatable and third you gotta make it sound convenient for the other person
Down bellow is an example of a man who was caught and in trouble and he wanted to get off the hook witch arose questions in the other person's mind
"why do you want to be off the hook so bad? Hiding something?"
Incorrect response: " because it's annoying when your CONSTANTLY saying things without judging properly or fairly"
Correct response:
" Well you see it's nothing of wanting to do with other people it's about personal freedom. "Off the hook" a widely used term you see imagine me a fish a great white shark, I wouldn't wanna be stuck on a hook all the time it hurts and makes you bleed so getting off the hook would also allow me freedom. Now imagine me human me and you human you I'm currently on the hook I don't want to be off the hook so I can have Total freedom and do whatever the fuck I want I want to be off the hook so that you don't have to worry about anything! Of course I'm gonna regulate myself. I just don't want you to waste your mental energy keeping me on the hook it's be a waste and you should t waste your energy! You should focus on kicking that rashes ass I know it might feel like it won't change anything but I know it will coming from experience so the reason I want off the hook is so you don't waste your energy and I can focus more on helping you!"
This is proper mansplaination

A combination of the two words "man" and "explaining" which have been combined and fused in order to make it easier to say often and be easily identifiable.
It is used when a subject often the one question in conversation and following topic at hand is explained in unrequested and unrequired detail. This has been dubbed "Mansplaining" due to women finding it annoying and perceiving it as men looking down on the m without noticing that men just talk to them like they talk to men.
It is also a bit of a an everything word as the definition is very biased as men feel as they did just give helpful advice while women feel looked down upon. This means that you may if you wish utilise this word however you may please and bend the definition to agree with your argument or view.
