milsplaining

milsplaining (blend word ‘military’ & informal form splaining of gerund ‘explaining’) is pejorative term meaning "(of a squaddie) to comment on or explain something to #civvy in condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner"
It is total bravado based on a rigid hierarchy where people have to do exactly as you tell them even if you are an utter knob. Civvies don’t give a shit about rank & will tell you to poke it.
I’m not #milsplaining you thick Civvy twat, I’m giving you guidance based on my considerable military knowledge gleamed from Commando comics & years of mucking other military around. I have zero knowledge of real world but if I shout & point, you will have to do what I say!

memesplaining 

The act of explaining the meaning of the word meme to a person who does not understand it. Most people incorrectly believe that a meme is a picture with words added on top of it. This is actually an image macro. While some image macros are also memes, not all memes are image macros. The preceding three sentences are an example of memesplaining.
Hey, check out this meme I just made!

(sighs) Looks like I've got some memesplaining to do here....

Mannsplaining 

The gritted teeth repetition of facts from a scientist forced to contend with the myths of morons all the livelong day.
"Michael's having a bad day on Twitter; he's gonna graduate from Mannsplaining to murder pretty soon."

Mathsplaining 

When a mathematically capable person explains a math problem to a less mathematically capable person, typically in a manner regarded as condescending or patronising. Like mansplaining, except that it actually exists.
Math HL student: "Uh, you can't get the square root out of a negative number. Unless you're using irrationals"
Math studies student: "Stop mathsplaining to me!"

Maxsplaining 

When you trap your life long formula one rival in order to explain every little detail about your race or quali session to them without a chance of escape.

Not to be confused with Mansplaining, while similar, Maxsplaining presents clear homoerotic undertones and heart eyes from both parties involved.
person 1: where's Charles?
person 2: oh, Max got him, he already started the maxsplaining
person 1: damn, that's a shame, there's no saving him now...
