Dadsplain

dad·splain
/dadˈsplān/
verb informal

When a perceived authority figure explains something, and you’re not sure if they are just kidding.

Calvin’s dad was really good at dadsplaining, as seen in this comic.

This is a word that came into being during a conversation with my son. I later checked the internet, and found that others have come up with this word, too. The meanings vary. But this is what the word means to us.
