Philsplaining

When a Phil unnecessarily explains something to assert his importance and intellect. Man splaning but to umtenthee degree.

I waited as he started philsplaining engine parts to a mechanic.

paulsplaining 

The act of overriding another's experience and knowledge brought on by your ability to conjure the power of 1,000 vaginas and Mother Teresa herself.

I was trying to describe how bad my period felt but then dumbfuck Jerry paulsplained, saying I shouldn't feel any pain because periods are just papercuts that take a while to clot.

I wanted to get the HPV vaccine, but my dickhole dad paulsplained that it wasn't necessary and I'd get autism if I got it anyhow.

I was talking to my friend at work, Sarah, about how prevalent rape is and our colleague, Terry the Terrible, came over and did some paulsplaining. He said we should just dress more appropriately or start carrying a gun if we didn't want to be raped.

Pigsplaining 

Common phenomenon, similar to "mansplaining," except when done by a pig (police officer) trying to explain away their bad and usually racist behavior.

Cop enters home and arrests black homeowner (in his own home). Cop later realizes his mistake and tries to explain away his racist behavior by saying that said homeowner was acting suspiciously.

Johhny: "There he goes pigsplaining away his racist actions."

Polisplaining 

Polisplaining occurs when a politician or political commentator talks condescendingly to someone about something he / she has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that she / he knows more about it than the person he's talking to does.

I just spent the last hour listening to a group of talking head polisplaining an issue everyone knows they haven't seen (or don't have the clearance to see) the evidence.

painsplaining 

This is a type of ablesplaining where doctors and other healthcare workers patronize, infantilize and disregard lived experience by minimizing self-reports of pain, often justifying it through medical hearsay, misogyny, transphobia, fatphobia, and racism even though they've never experienced any similar pain themselves, or they believe everyone's pain is the same as their own.

Doctor: "It's normal to experience some discomfort…" Patient: "Quit painsplaining; that was not just discomfort. That was a 9 out of 10 — almost the worst pain I've ever felt!"

Paulsplaining 

The art of condescending when explaining something trival to someone while simultaneously making it up due to a complete lack of knowledge on the subject. Paulsplaining is the art of dogmaticly sticking to a point of view in spite of apposing aguements which seem to be correct.

No chance of getting your point across this fucker is paulsplaining, you might as well go and debate the wind.
