Randsplain 

General Usage: Rand Paul's attempt to explain his current position on a given issue in light of his past positions; often delivered as a testy refutation when presented with factual evidence of his prior alternate position on the same issue.

Specific Usage: Randsplaining often takes the form of neutralizing touchy cultural or political issues providing a clean slate to establish his current position as his historic unchanged position.

Aggressiveness of the Randsplaining is directly proportional to the number of his video clips, quotes, writings, speeches presented as evidence of past flip-flops or contrasting positions.
In an attempt to explain away his countless flip-flops, Paul rudely cut off the journalist at least five times to Randsplain his one, true position after the latest flip-flop on that one issue.

bangsplain 

The act of explaining a problematic topic in a condescending manner by a person (she/he/they/ze) who has bangs.

Bandsplaining 

When someone goes above and beyond to illustrate they know more about a band than someone who has expressed interest in that band, especially with a condescending tone or attitude .
"I see you have a Motorhead shirt on. I bet you cant name 3 songs off the Inferno album . See, most people only know Ace of Spades, but....."

(This person was bandsplaining to someone else )

Second definition: when you ask a band what kind of music they play and they go on for 10 minutes, listing obscure bands and saying how you'll never really understand it until you listen to their album.

E.g- Chad: what kind of music does your band play?

Tim: we're like a mixture of punk and country, with a little jazz/reggae. We have some tones of Johnny Cash from '72-73, plus some hints of Zanphire. But like his B-side stuff, not his popular/mainstream stuff. But that doesnt really explain it all the way.

Tim is bandsplaining. Second definition submitted by Chris Jacobs

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
