Pam will use Jupiter’s gravity to assist Chad out of the solar system.

Pam will use her own fist to enable Chad to meet oblivion!

I’ve never completely understood this “mansplaining” thing, to be honest. In my family, it’s always been more like “momsplaining”. Or “mysistersplaining”. Both of them will give me a lecture about how something works before they’ll tell me why they’re explaining the bleeding obvious. And half the time, it doesn’t even make sense!

For instance, yesterday my mother explained how the toaster works, then asked me to make her a cup of tea. Whenever she does something like that, I just assume she’s changed her mind about wanting toast during the time it took her to explain how the toaster works.

Pretty good – I did laugh – but yesterday’s “I don’ need no steenkin’ directions” was better.

I suspect pretty soon she’s going leave Chad hanging … out in space.

I like Chad’s “fashion sense”. Tim has subtly depicted ‘him’ with striped bottoms and a checkered top.

Chad or Choad?

I know it’s a gag but in general, modern entertainment depicts men in the worst possible way.

If you explain to someone what mainsplaing is are you mainsplaing?

Ok this is clever and here is why: The professor has a male digital assistant, which is unlike female digital assistants such as Siri and Alexa. And because it is a male, it tends to overdo it when giving explanations or answering a question. It’s particularly annoying to Pam, because she is a female. And, females don’t…blah, blah, blah…

“All those millions of pieces of metal and plastic trailing out behind the station, is it chaff?”

“No, Chadff…”

Looks like some Pam-splaining is in order….

If this continues, there may be some Pam-demonium.

I wonder what would happen to Chad if, instead, Pam were to compliment it – “thank you, Chad, I didn’t know that, Chad, way to go, Chad.” Would it have an overload and explode?

Never assume everyone already knows what is important and needs to be known.

(He said, assuming some don’t know or realize how important knowing is.)

Mansplain is the male version of female nagging done in a less annoying manner.

Would you say Clippy was a mansplainer?

LOL, as the old Candid Camera theme used to say, “It’s fun to laugh at yourself.”

I got a feeling Pam is about to get punchy… My son is 9 and is already turning into quite the “boysplainer” as I like to call it.
