Newsplaining

Explanations provided by the Mainstream Media that fits into their agenda setting narrative.

High school kid in a MAGA hat smirks at a hostile Native American man who approached him and beat a drum in his face. The mainstream media uses newsplaining to tell Americans how racist the kid is.

Jewsplaining

Jews telling non-jews what they should think or feel about themselves (and other gentiles), their faith, their community, and their role in society.

This guy at the deli was popping off about how jews got ahead in the US more than the other 99% of Americans. When I told him to stop jewsplaining, he pulled out his phone, started recording and threatened to turn me into the Anti-Defamation League.

Netsplaining

The internet phenomenon where ask you about a specific thing and the people of the internet tell you how wrong you are to want said thing.

Also, answering an online inquiry in the most unhelpful way. A specific way of trolling the hive mind.

Example:

Before I go shopping for one, are any of my friends looking to sell their lawn mower?

Netsplainers netsplaining: They sell them at Walmart. Try Lowe's. Just pay someone to mow it for you.

Example:

Does anyone know how to activate the missed call light on this specific model of phone? I can't find anything after several online searches.

Netsplainers netsplaining: Just check your missed call log. Just leave your ringer on. Google it. I never liked that light and neither should you. Jeff Parker says you've been netsplained.

Nerdsplaining

(Nerd•splay•ning) Verb. To explain a subject, in excruciating detail, to someone who absolutely doesn’t give a shit. Similar to Mansplaining, except the victim is uninterested in the information being forced upon them, rather already aware of it.

My girlfriend had no interest in all of the mythological inaccuracies in Disney’s Hercules, but I couldn’t help Nerdsplaining them to her, anyway.

Nansplaining

When unsolicited advice or direction is given to you by a Nan or Grandmother not necessarily in an intentionally condescending tone, but as if you have no knowledge of what is being explained.

"Yo did your Nan just Nansplained what a nectarine is?"

"Jonathan, your mum is Nansplaining Amazon for the fourth time this week!"
