ghisplain 

Where a woman excuses, downplays the behaviors/words of a predator to the targeted victim. Where a woman explains to any other vulnerable person, especially another female, what a predatory perpetrator who seems threatening REALLY means by his upsetting words/actions. Pronounced "geesplain, geesplaining, geesplained." Original idea developed by The Masked Bitchalante in March of 2021.
Ghisplain : (gee splain) She ghisplain (ed) to her daughter that her step-father really did have her safety in mind when he grabbed her breast. However, the daughter heard the ghisplaining and rejected it.

The perfect combo between badass and sweet

In the Arab world, the first name "Ghizlane" (gazelle) evokes the "beauty", "gentleness" and "vitality" of her child.
Sociable and charming, Ghizlane manages to evolve with disconcerting ease in any group thanks to her ease of expressing herself in public and her adaptability. Due to her desire to please, Ghizlane is conciliatory and is an exceptional mediator in the event of conflict. However, this passionate woman sometimes gets overwhelmed by her emotions and can get really nasty. In general, she is enthusiastic, helpful, kind and very pleasant like a perfect hostess! During her bad days, she becomes angry, rude and impulsive, being able to enter into particularly violent fits of rage. However, few people have had the misfortune to discover this facet of his personality. Particularly attached to her freedom, Ghizlane refuses any form of coercion from an early age. She is thus a turbulent, insolent and careless student in class. Her parents will have to prepare for their daughter's chaotic school journey. On the other hand, this independent young girl knows what she wants and will get it one way or another. It will suffice to motivate her to see her devote herself entirely to a project. This way, nothing and no one can come between this stubborn woman and her goals. If the process seems relatively simple, his relatives will especially have to show imagination and subtlety not to rush it

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.

goysplaining 

When Gentiles lecture Jews about Jewish matters. Analogous to mansplaining.
"Actually, Arabs are Semites too..."
-"Cmon Fritz, stop the goysplaining already"."
goysplaining by Gēhā Pikāru April 21, 2017
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."
