Will-splaining 

1. When someone explains in great detail about a subject, or how to do do something despite the victim have a sufficient amount of knowledge and/or experience.

2. When you are told to do something, despite already doing it or are just about to do what has been asked already.

Will-splaining is usually accompanied along side words such as "mate" or "dude".

Will-splaining is often followed by a rear naked training dit-lock.

1.

LC3: "Red means port doesn't it?"

Will: "yeh mate, red is always used to show port, for example; in a marked channel the port side will be marked with red marker boys. However you'll need to keep in mind the direction you are travelling in and what zone you're in, in the UK the bouyage system will "welcome you in" so as you come into port the red port marker boys will be on your left but as you leave to go to sea they will be on your starboard side. You understand dude?"

LC3: "Cheers for Will-splaining that to me..."

2.
LC3: *driving a boat on a course 160 degrees at 20kts coming up to an obvious port turn in a channel, and is planning to turn*

Will: "alright mate just keep on a course of 260 degrees, make sure you're going 20kts and don't alter course as we'll cause a pendulum effect. Also when we get to that pair of marker bouys make sure you turn to port or we'll end up outside the channel, happy mate?"
