It's when a man spreads his legs wide to give the impression he has a big penis. Usually on public transport.

Hope this helps

Mansplaining (a blend word of man and the informal form splaining of the gerund explaining) is a pejorative term meaning "(of a man) to comment on or explain something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner".[1][2][3][4] Author Rebecca Solnit ascribed the phenomenon to a combination of "overconfidence and cluelessness".[5] Lily Rothman, of The Atlantic, defined it as "explaining without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, often done by a man to a woman".[6]

In its original use, mansplaining differed from other forms of condescension in that it was said to be rooted in the assumption that a man is likely to be more knowledgeable than a woman.[7] However, it has come to be used more broadly, often applied when a man takes a condescending tone in an explanation to anyone, regardless of the age or gender of the intended recipients: a "man 'splaining" can be delivered to any audience.[2] In 2010, it was named by the New York Times as one of its "Words of the Year".[8] American Dialect Society nominated Mansplaining as the “most creative” new word in 2012.[9]

Isn't it Mans Plaining - like using a buzzy tool or simplifying things ?

Somewhere In The Ether…

Not to be confused with ‘Manscaping’ which involves intimate grooming and a steady hand.

Mansplaining is a word used, usually by misandrists or unwittingly by people who pick it up from popular vernacular, to bully/shame men

It's what blokes do when they think the silly little woman doesn't quite understand something.

Yo bro, you're not exactly diamond sharp and half the time you're fucking wrong.

Isnt when they try to tell us about periods and things, where our organs are, and that our little brains aren't working proper.

I like the sound of hotcrotching better though. I had one in the sun yesterday!
