tourisplaining

A tourist explaining local culture to a native of the area. Ex: Helen from Minnesota explains to a Hawaiian service worker that her recent purchase of factory made art was made from all the different types of local Hawaiian wood, they’re not stained, Helen exclaims, that’s the natural wood color with just oil! Proper response is, wow, thanks for sharing, it’s beautiful.
I live here and know that, I don’t need your tourisplaining.
