Rusplaining 

Lying, shading the truth, or obfuscating in service of the Russian narrative, especially in regard to the war in Ukraine.
Don't worry about that troll. He is just Rusplaining.
The Russians are claiming that they are killing 10 Ukrainians for every 1 Russian killed. That is just Rusplaining.

Runsplaining 

The act of assuming a new member of your running club is new to the sport of running and minimizing their answers to questions about their background.

For example; if they say they haven't done any races in a while a runsplaining person may assume it's been a few years but maybe it's been just a few months. If they say they are not running as much as they used to, the runsplaining person may assume they are running a minimal amount when in fact it could still be serious mileage.
Them: Hey ! I've never seen you at our runs before. So, you just decided to get fit ?

Me: Yeah sure. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

****************************************
"I told them I haven't been running as much as I used to and they were runsplaining me. They said, "oh well, glad you're getting back into it."

"I didn't tell them I was running (x number of miles) and kicking butt. Oh well."

Ricsplaining

The wholesome act of over-explaining something in an enthusiastic, thorough, and genuinely helpful way. Unlike condescending forms of over-explanation, ricsplaining comes from a place of excitement and care—the person genuinely wants you to succeed and understand every detail. Often accompanied by analogies, encouragement, and the phrase "and here's the cool part..."

A ricsplainer believes knowledge is a gift worth wrapping carefully.
He apologized for ricsplaining, but I could tell it came from excitement—he just really wanted me to get it.

The ricsplaining was so enthusiastic and wholesome that by the end, I not only understood the problem—I felt emotionally supported by the solution.

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
