adminisplain 

"Adminisplain" is a portmanteau combining "administrate" or "administrator" and "explain," much like how "mansplain" is derived from "man" and "explain." The word "adminisplain" can be defined as follows:

Adminisplain (verb): The act of an administrator, boss, or managerial figure condescendingly explaining something to employees or subordinates who are already highly knowledgeable or skilled in their specific field of expertise. This often implies that the explainer underestimates the expertise of the listener or feels the need to assert authority or control in a situation where it may be unnecessary or unwelcome.

I felt completely adminisplained during the meeting today when my manager went over the basics of our project, despite our team's extensive experience in this field.

Explaining a hard to understand concept with an overly simplified explanation (arminsplanation). The most common usage is to explain the concept with the name of concept itself (Urban dictionary, its a dictionary of urban words).

Brendan: "Armin, what is a BitArray?"
Armin: "An array of bits!"
Brendan: "Stop arminsplaining me!"

Adminsplaining 

Adminsplaining: Like mansplaining but where a colleague (coincidentally often a man, but yes, not *always* because yes, not all men (sigh)) explains a thing you can do with a particular work app, whether you needed to know it or not and almost always regardless of whether you already knew about it or not.

"Hey, colleague, did you know that if you hold down cntrl when you click a link it opens in a new tab? "

"Gee, Gerry, thanks for adminsplaining that to me."

Hey, colleague, if you wear your swipe card on a lanyard then it'll always be there when you need it to get into the building.

Hey, colleague, Emails come to you inbox. Did you know that? Here let me show you.
