milsplaining

milsplaining (blend word ‘military’ & informal form splaining of gerund ‘explaining’) is pejorative term meaning "(of a squaddie) to comment on or explain something to #civvy in condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner"
It is total bravado based on a rigid hierarchy where people have to do exactly as you tell them even if you are an utter knob. Civvies don’t give a shit about rank & will tell you to poke it.
I’m not #milsplaining you thick Civvy twat, I’m giving you guidance based on my considerable military knowledge gleamed from Commando comics & years of mucking other military around. I have zero knowledge of real world but if I shout & point, you will have to do what I say!

memesplaining 

The act of explaining the meaning of the word meme to a person who does not understand it. Most people incorrectly believe that a meme is a picture with words added on top of it. This is actually an image macro. While some image macros are also memes, not all memes are image macros. The preceding three sentences are an example of memesplaining.
Hey, check out this meme I just made!

(sighs) Looks like I've got some memesplaining to do here....

micksplaining 

The act of arguing that the 03/04 Mustang Cobra is the best vehicle ever made, but when confronted with an offer to race, making up multiple excuses to why “his” 03/04 Cobra cannot be raced. Also known as a “Douchy McDoucherson”
Guy 1: Hey dude, that Cobra looks nice, want to race my bone stock tbi 305 Camaro?
Guy2: I uhhhh can’t, NASA called me and said I slowed the Earths rotation every time I got in it, and uhhh asked me to stop. And plus it needs another battery.

Guy 1: What a micksplaining prick!

Micksplain 

A more insidious form of mansplaining. In this case Mick West will proceed against all logic to explain to one what they experienced. In the Marvel Universe Mick West attained a form of Bizaro Clairvoyance while spinning in his office chair programming Tony Hawk to do 1020 rotations in mundane spaces. The constant spinning had an effect on his inner ear. Coupled with the lack of sleep from trying to meet corporate deadlines Mick entered an altered state sometime in late 2002. He has never fully awakened from that dream state, as he continues to explain to people what the reality they experienced really was.
Here is a case of Lue Elizondo getting the Micksplain by the man himself after recounting how a team of engineers investigated the videos released: "The reason Go Fast is claimed as something extraordinary is that Elizondo or his associates did not do the math. They assumed it showed what it looked like, and hence you end up with it being shown on "Unidentified" as a super-fast cold object. So he got kind of locked in."
