noun

Etymology: From mansplain + -er.

  1. One (especially a man) who mansplains.

    “Think about the men you know. Do any of them display that delightful mixture of privilege and ignorance that leads to condescending, inaccurate explanations, delivered with the rock-solid conviction of rightness and that slimy certainty that of course he is right, because he is the man in this conversation?”
