gensplain 

Gensplaining is when someone of a very different generation from you thinks they know more than you about something you are an expert in, mainly due to the era you were born / grew up in, and condescendingly takes the time to 'explain' to you how it works (similar to mansplaining).
A 25 year old kid in a shop tried to gensplain to me all about vinyl records and how they related to the length of radio singles 'back in the 70s' the other day; she must have missed the fact I'm over 50 and actually lived through it, or else thought I was senile.

Jensplaining

When your wife has to explain basic morals and empathy to her husband that runs a country and 100% of the time the husband is the kind of man that makes up his own nickname and shits himself at a Engadine McDonald's
Stop Jensplaining it to me, I told you I didn't rape her I just held her down for the young staffer to rape, we have to leave in 5 minutes so will talk about it when we get back from hillsong, we will have more time for me to comprehend how to do empathy, just write what I should say Jen

Giosplaining 

When you explain a meme, thus removing any and all elements of humor from said joke
Ethan: I dont get why these moth memes are considered funny
Gio: You see, the moth memes are funny because the moth likes light. So, therefore, any allusions to a light source arouse the moths. XD
Ethan: Wow, now it's even less funny. Thanks for giosplaining it to me.

When goyim, or non-Jewish people, try to explain Jewish concepts - or explain away antisemitism - to a Jewish person
Goy: "Roger Waters using the Star Of David on an inflatable pig isn't antisemitic. After all, he has Jewish friends!"
Jew: "Don't sit there goysplaining this to me as if it somehow affects you personally. I've been dealing with antisemitism all my life; I think I know what it is better than you ever will."
