racesplaining 

A white person explaining to POC what is discriminatory to them and whatnot despite POC repeatedly saying they're wrong. Basically mansplaining but about race and discrimination.
Oh, that's not racist against you.
Shut up! You're white, you don't get to say how we react and what we think is discriminatory against us. You are racesplaining.

Ricsplaining

The wholesome act of over-explaining something in an enthusiastic, thorough, and genuinely helpful way. Unlike condescending forms of over-explanation, ricsplaining comes from a place of excitement and care—the person genuinely wants you to succeed and understand every detail. Often accompanied by analogies, encouragement, and the phrase "and here's the cool part..."

A ricsplainer believes knowledge is a gift worth wrapping carefully.
He apologized for ricsplaining, but I could tell it came from excitement—he just really wanted me to get it.

The ricsplaining was so enthusiastic and wholesome that by the end, I not only understood the problem—I felt emotionally supported by the solution.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
