Teensplaining 

When a teen condescendingly assumes that they know more about a topic than the adults around them, usually their parents. The teen then explains the topic to the adult as if the adult is completely ignorant regardless of their experience or expertise. This is frequently accompanied by the extreme certainty that can only be maintained through inexperience.
Maya was teensplaining to me that intelligence is about 75% heritable.
"You'd know that if you weren't such an idiot, Dad!"

My daughter teensplained pop music to me, as if I hadn't lived through the 80s.

teensplaining 

Similar to mansplaining but with a teenager who firmly believes he/she/they know everything, and are therefore obligated to explain it to you. Often accompanied with an eye roll followed by stomping and a door slam.
(Mom and Teenager watching Home Alone)
Teen: Mom, wait until you see what happens when the power goes out.

Mom: You mean when their phone lines are down?
Teen: Did know that phones went down back then?
Mom: Yes.
Teen: Well, it was because there weren't cell phones and they had phone calls go through wires.

Mom: I know. I was a kid at the time.

Teen: But this is different, Mom. You just don't understand! (Eye roll / stomp away)
Mom: I cannot believe he just teensplaining me about something I experienced 30 years before he existed! How does he think she automatically knows more than me and has to explain it?

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
