lallysplain 

The art of overly elaborating or pontificating about a topic, inundating the listener with an abundance of words and information, while actually providing only a minimal or insufficient understanding of the subject matter. This term describes the act of explaining things in an unnecessarily verbose or convoluted manner, leaving the recipient with more confusion than clarity.

While lallysplaining can make it seem like one has important information, it is often very quickly obvious that they have no idea what they are talking about.

Ladysplain 

A woman's response to someone mansplaining; the act of correcting a man who thinks he knows everything and does not hesitate to tell you

If you ask me if something's wrong, I’ll explain, but if you tell me something's wrong, I’ll ladysplain

laysplain 

When a person without technical or direct knowledge of a subject (a layperson) attempts to explain nuances of that subject to an expert. Simple examples would be an antivaxxer trying to tell a research biochemist how vaccines work, or a flat earther telling an aeronautics engineer how physics proves NASA faked the moon landing.

You tried to laysplain Star Wars to Natalie Portman, she was literally in those films.

Ladysplaining

A tongue-in-cheek term for when a woman responds to a conversation by over-explaining, correcting, or asserting expertise in a way that feels unnecessary or condescending, often shifting the interaction from discussion to correction. The behavior is sometimes perceived as stemming from defensiveness or a need to prove knowledge.

I pointed out the lot size inconsistency, but instead of addressing it she went straight into ladysplaining basic square footage math like that was ever the question.
