twinsplaining

Complaining about any new episode of Twin Peaks by die-hard Twin Peaks fan that, well, expected a decent storyline from David Lynch compatible with his teenage memories. Average Twinsplainer is male, about fifty years old and never watched Twin Peaks, not even in his teens, but he does remember he watched something that resembled it and insists it WAS Twin Peaks, not just a dream.. You cannot get away with those tricks yet another time, David Lynch! is a favorite twinsplainer motto. Twinsplainers are the same people who don't own a tellie at every party, and yet think being glued to a computerscreen is somehow more esthetic.
Did you twinsplain yet about that new rift in the occult void?

Tansplaining

When a British person (tan) explains something thats blantantly obvious/false in a condescending manner to an Irish person because they're British, think they're "great" and have no grasp on their countries history.
"You know you Irish should say thanks to us if we didn't invade you you'd still be picking potatoes"

transplaining

When a trans-person tries to explain your sexual identity or orientation to you contrary to the fact that this is a personal choice and everyone has the right to identify as they please.
Person A: I'm super-straight
Person B (trans): That's transphobic, genital preference isn't a sexual identity..
Person A: Please don't transplain to me, I know what I am and it's not for you to decide. Transplaining is superphobic.

Transplaining

When a Transgender person or an ally tries explaining sexuality and science to Super Straight people and tries to invalidate their very real and valid identity in the process.
Trans: there's no such thing as a biological female read up on your science. And Super Straight can't be a sexuality it's a preference.

Super Straight: You're Transplaining. I don't know where you're going with this... But it's not in Super Straight pants.

Transplaining

When a transgender person (generally who was previously male and has transitioned or is in the process of transitioning) continues to exhibit "mansplaining" behaviour, but not longer associates with that gender.
"OMG I was just showing them my makeup routine, and they started transplaining to me about why I shouldn't be using that foundation for my skin."

transplaining

When transgender individuals complain about their self-created drama to their eternal spouse Tumblr, under the impression that the rest of the world is to unquestioningly conform its will and behavior to their demented ramblings. Spinoff of mansplaining

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.
