mindsplain

A word that neurotypical people use to patronize someone with autism or other neurodivergences when they have projected their assumptions about universal mental states onto them after the person shares insights or perspectives without considering individual differences in theory of mind.
When the neurotypical lecturer started mindsplaining how everyone intuitively understands sarcasm, the autistic student felt dismissed and interrupted to explain their unique perspective on social cues.

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!
