lingsplain 

Condescending explanations of phenomena given by linguists or college graduates with half-baked understanding of linguistics. Lingsplainations usually affect a high degree of irritation in their recipients and result in re-purposing of books by Derrida, Foucault, etc. as toilet paper.

The pompous and illogical explanation offered from a liberal on a topic for which they know nothing other than the rhetorical talking points spewed out by politicians.
