adultsplaining

1) When children and teen don't ask for anything and an adult come and start to educate them about a subject they already know nay they know better than him/her
2) When an adult correct something a teen or a child has just said without knowing anything about the subject just because he is enough confident to believe he is necessarily more relevant even if he has a big lack of knowledge of the subject (because you know, the interlocutor is a teen/child and he is an adult)
Adultsplaining is caused by adultism (which creates this incredible adult audacity)
"We were just watching a documentary about climat change and he came from nowhere to adultsplain us ecology"

"Adults of the meeting have corrected everything Bob has said like "hey I just wanna add something" without knowing anything about what he was talking about. That's adultsplaining !"
