When someone tells you how to craft your sandwich, as if they have a superior knowledge of the sandwich arts.
1: You know, the pickles should be sliced vertically on top of the mustard, and you really should use shredded iceberg lettuce---
2: Stop sandwich-splaining! Next are you going to tell me I have to cut it in half diagonally?!?
1: Yes, yes I am.
When a customer is trying to explain the job better than the person providing the service.
Customer Splaining: The customer, customer splained how to do my own job.
For example, a customer telling you how to make a latte, when you’ve been a barista for 5 years.
2. When a white person commits a heinous act only to have it explained away by other way people as "not that bad" or is otherwise given the benefit of the doubt in a way that would not never happen for anybody who wasn't white.
3. Actually it doesn't even have to be a heinous act. It can even be normal behavior. Like the way they admire other white people from Europe. They would break their necks trying to help someone who speaks French or German. Let someone speak Spanish and they just shout something like, "Speak English!"
Ex. Mexicans are "foreigners" or "immigrants" (even thought they're actually from the same continent!) but white people from Europe are "travelers" or "expats".
Real life examples of White-'splaining:
Real Life Example 1: White man who is the father of 2 was found guilty of possessing kiddie porn.
Response from another white person: "Just because he had kiddie porn doesn't mean he was a bad father - unless it was his kids in the pictures."
Real Life Example 2: Those black people just keep shooting each other. Their neighborhoods are filled with crime. We should lock them all up.
Response from white people after Columbine, Newtown, Chris Benoit and every other white mass shooting: This a terrible tragedy but there's nothing we can do about it. It just happened.
Random Example 3: White guy robs a bank: He was at the end of his rope trying to feed his family. Mexican guy robs a bank: Those people shouldn't be here anyway.

The male art of explaining a concept in such basic terms that even a woman could understand it.
So I was man-splaining to my wife that toothpaste is best squeezed from the bottom and not from the middle of the tube.

URL-splaining (aka linksplaining) is when you instead of engaging in conversation online, you post a link of an article which serves as a proxy for actual conersation.
Please stop URL-splaining me with tedious articles and engage me in proper conversation.
Political candidates who must try to explain negative or questionable actions from their past.
It was a very short time before he had to stop campaigning and start
CAM-SPLAINING the unacceptable things done in years past.
When a person of another culture starts explaining how their culture works before even realizing that you might know what it is.
