It's a portmanteau, actually. 👨‍🏫 A portmanteau is a word formed by merging the sounds and meanings of two different words.

[–] The_Che_Banana 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is a more accurate comment, you can tell because the spelling is correct and the content is plausible.

Ah man, I was hoping someone would explain the explanation of the explanation for some laughs... But noooooooooo.....

Also, I asked for and received a signed dick pic for manfirmation. This elevates the status of the information from plausible to probable. Now all that remains is checking their socio-economic status, but he seems to be more private about that than about his privates.

I refuse to be complemented for something so banale.

[–] The_Che_Banana 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I prefer the spelling 'banal'

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fine. I refuse to be complemented for something so bananas.

[–] The_Che_Banana 1 points 2 months ago

I think the rebuttal is plantain! Great Work!

I think that makes the meme more accurate, it's almost not mansplaining if it's not also subtly but confidently wrong.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Bruh i hate it so much when someone ASKS ME a question and when im explaining they say im mansplaining. Also apperently if youre an expert in a subject and happen to be man and explain something in that field to someone thats mansplaining.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 17 points 2 months ago

Similarly, I hate it when you're excitedly rambling on about your hobby and someone claims you're mansplaning.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

Early in my career (office job), I was standing in the cubes and 2 coworkers (a man and a woman, neither had children) were having a conversation about parenting, the man turns to me to directly ask me for my thoughts since I was the only one of us 3 who had kids (he said this out loud), and as I was answering, the woman interrupted me to complain that I was mansplaining parenting.

She's an outlier in that workplace though. Just a jerk.

[–] SapientLasagna@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

But then you get to mansplain mansplaining! That's my hobby. My daughter loves it.

[–] HoMaster@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Shut up penis!

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

I was always scared my infodumping would be called that. But now I'm socially transitioned so I can infodump to my heart's content!

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

My girlfriend is using the word "mansplaining" incorrectly and I don't know what to do about it.

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey now, mansplaining does have its uses..

Mansplaining Now Tops Condoms as Most Effective Contraceptive

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

(Fyi condoms are not the most effective)

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] azolus@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Not yet at least in freedom-land

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Which on is (apart from mansplaining)?

Spiral?

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

From the comments so far: being an ugly gay man with a vasectomy.

Contraceptive implant.

See table under 'Effectiveness':
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods

Typical use failure rate during first year:

  • contraceptive implant 0.05%
  • vasectomy 0.15%
  • IUD 0.8%
  • pill 7%
  • male condom 13%

So yeah, an IUD "spiral". AKA "coil" as they are apparently called in English.

Homosexuality

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Ugh... I can't stand this. But Skeletor is just the right person to do it.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The body builder with claws and a skull for a face is the character, Skeletor from He-Man for those of you not aware. Or maybe you recognize him from She-Ra? Was Skeletor in She-Ra? I don't know I never watched that show.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

He made brief appearances, I think. She-Ra is He-Man's sister who lives in another dimension, and I vaguely remember occasional crossovers. Hordak was her regular big-bad, though. I'm sure there's a MotU nerd in here somewhere who knows better than me.

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Did you just skeleplain mansplaning to me?
