glamsplaining 

When you are super *fabulous* and you simply *must* share your opinion with others, whether they ask for it or not.

Glamsplaining can be humorous, snarky, or even cruel, but it tends to be brutally honest.
A: Oh. My God. You *cannot* wear those shoes with that outfit!
B: Geez! Stop glamsplaining me!

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a reality show built on glamsplaining.

Clamsplaining 

1. The explanation of something by a woman, typically to a man, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing, e.g., Womansplaining.

2. When a woman uses bigoted, illogical rhetoric, or ask questions that she doesn't really want an answer to, to "shut a man down." Usually used so the woman can feel superior to the male she is speaking with.

3. When a woman interprets what a man says, not by the words he is saying, but by what her mind "knows" he is thinking behind the words that he is saying; because she "knows" what his thoughts, motivations, and intentions "really"mean and not what he intended by the words he used to begin with, womansplain. With this ready knowledge of what he "really" means and disregarding what he said, she will then craft what she believes to be an appropriate response.
"I was trying to answer her question when suddenly she started clamsplaining how my answer isn't valid because I'm a man."

Man 1: "My girlfriend didn't speak to me for three days."
Man 2: "No way! What happened?"
Man 1: "I asked her if she wanted me to go to the gym with Marc and I."
Man 2: "What? That's no reason to give anyone the silent treatment."
Man 1: "When I finally convinced her to speak to me, she said that I called her "fat" in front of Marc."

Gransplaining 

When someone of an older generation (typically a Baby Boomer) condescendingly explains why you are doing something wrong, even though they lack the shared experience necessary to equate theirs with yours.
"You don't need to go into debt to attend college. Just get a part-time job like I did!"

"Stop gransplaining me, Boomer."
