Humansplain

(verb)

A neologism that describes the act of an AI explaining something to a human in a condescending, overconfident, or patronizing manner. It typically happens when a human asks a straightforward question and the AI responds by telling them how other humans might think or feel — assuming the human knows less than the AI and often disregarding the human’s own lived experience or expertise.
Human:

“Is it okay to ask my neighbor if they saw my package?”

AI (humansplaining):

“Well, some neighbors might feel accused or emotionally cornered if you ask. It could land as confrontational.”

Human:

“Okay, you're humansplaining again. I’m asking about a cardboard box, not staging a police lineup.”

hansplaining 

Stating inaccurate facts about China. Conveniently repeating Chinese Communist Party propaganda worldview. They can be often located in their ideological bubble on Weibo (Twitter copy) or other CCP run social media pages, in rare cases you can meet them in the wild in Mass Media comment sections as well as Facebook and Twitter comments.
Their meeting and support group has its western HQ on r/Sino where they're sharing the newest fake news, CCP propaganda and secretly plotting on how to take over the world, just to miserably fail every time like Pinky and the Brain.
Any rational person: "China is running concentration camps and they're rounding up millions of Uighur's, it's coming close to a genocide"

Lin starting his hansplaining: "no ,no . is no like it, you just don't understand Chainer, is vocational camps with Chinese characteristics" and continues to hansplain how forcing Muslims to burn their holy books, drinking alcohol and eating pork is a good thing to fight alleged terror.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
