Vetsplaining

The act of simply and unpretentiously explaining medical and nonmedical information about veterinary medicine to both medically trained and laypersons.

Vetsplaining is an invaluable and humorous podcast by Dr. Lisa McFaddin.

Let me vetsplain hyperthyroidism in cats to you.

In order to convey the severity of Fluffy's illness the doctor vetsplained the problem precisely and completely to the owner.

If only my veterinarian could describe my dog's problem in a way I understood easily....oh you need her/him to vetsplain it to you.

vaxsplaining

The annoying habit of the newly vaccinated to make wild and scientifically dubious claims that they are now 100% immune to all things COVID related including "every single solitary variant on the planet"

I'm tired of maskless spring breakers vaxsplaining on instagram how they can now "safely make out with complete strangers on the beach".

VAGSPLAINING

When a woman explains things to a man in a condescending manner as if the man is too clueless to understand on his own.

The female version of mansplaining.

Joe was fed up with Karen incessantly vagsplaining everything to him as though he could never understand it with his feeble man brain.

Vansplaining

When a person explains something to a member of the Van Halen family in a patronizing or arrogant tone as if the other person has no knowledge of what they're talking about.

The amount of people missing the joke I’m making, Vansplaining this album cover to me

Vagsplaining

When a woman states that a man isn't worth listening to or something a man says isn't true because something about him or his conduct is repulsive to her from a perspective of sexual arousal.

Feminist: Jordan Peterson is wrong because he cries easily.
Man: Just because your pussy dries up doesn't mean he's wrong, you are vagsplaining.

Petsplaining

The futile endeavor of explaining to your pets what they did wrong and expecting them to understand.

I explained to my puppy why it was wrong for him to pee on the carpet. Two hours later he peed on the carpet again. I should have realized petsplaining doesn’t work.

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.
