Tansplain

When a Brit who is abysmally clueless and oblivious about all things Irish explains pompously and condescendingly to an Irish person about his or her own country's history and geography, in a way which only serves to highlight the Brit's total ignorance. Named after the black and tan militia.

Boris: "Look, you're part of the British Isles, which means you are a British Isle, not a separate country, you belong to us and you really should know your place."

Pat: "Nice tansplaining, Boris."

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"
"Class tansplaining"
