Dudesplaining 

Dudesplaining is when men explain something like a Dude. It’s like Mansplaining but instead of being dumbed down, it’s more of using commonly known examples to explain something. This can be very helpful for those who need things to be rephrased in another way.
Yeah, he pretty much did some Dudesplaining and I understand it way better now.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
