grainsplain 

Grain explaining, usually from a fake ass rural person, the type who would hold contempt for “city slickers”.
Like mansplaining, which if you dont know, and you probably dont, is short for man explaining.

Grainsplainee: “What are in gluten free weetbix instead of wheat?”
Grainsplainer: “Sorghum. You have probably driven past fields of it, but you would have no idea as it’s mainly exported or for livestock.”
Grainsplainee: “I know what sorghum is, dipshit.”

gradsplain 

gradsplain: when a grad student reads one or two books then feels the need to (mis)explain any and every academic concept to everyone they interact with, mostly to tell said people that they are somehow wrong about their own thoughts, opinions, and/or experiences.

Gradsplainers do not generally care even if those they interact with have superior training, experience, schooling, or degrees.

Cindy: See, the thing is, according to my thesis and this article I just found, you are totally wrong about (insert Marxism, feminism, socialism, capitalism, ableism, racism, string theory, quantum physics, Dr. Who, etc.)

John: First, I teach this class. Second, I wrote the article you cite. Stop gradsplaining to me.

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."
