When your trying to explain a thing to your parents and they're not getting it. Or you are trying to explain your parents reasoning to your sibling.
"Yo bro I was rentsplaining to my dad that MW2 is so much better than Battlefield 1, but the old man wont get it in his head."

rentsplaining is defined as a passive aggressive form of explaining something to your parents, very similar to mansplaining.

Dude, Bob was RandSplaining away how their positive COVID tests the week after their Thanksgiving trip was an unlucky roll of the dice, but he ignored all the warning signs and chose to make the trip to their cousins in LA.

Runsplaining 

The act of assuming a new member of your running club is new to the sport of running and minimizing their answers to questions about their background.

For example; if they say they haven't done any races in a while a runsplaining person may assume it's been a few years but maybe it's been just a few months. If they say they are not running as much as they used to, the runsplaining person may assume they are running a minimal amount when in fact it could still be serious mileage.
Them: Hey ! I've never seen you at our runs before. So, you just decided to get fit ?

Me: Yeah sure. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

****************************************
"I told them I haven't been running as much as I used to and they were runsplaining me. They said, "oh well, glad you're getting back into it."

"I didn't tell them I was running (x number of miles) and kicking butt. Oh well."

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
