haptalaon(& I want to emphasise that Geeksplaining is different to info dumping. The latter is joyous - when you just can't stop yourself sharing everything about something which fascinates you and which you adore. Your listener may well be bored or annoyed by you, but at least your initial trigger was passion and a desire to share brilliance.
Whereas geeksplaining is, as my husband says, about winning. It's not really about sharing passion, or even imparting information, but about displaying your knowledge as a kind of verbal parry to the knowledge or others in the room. It's not a delighted overshare, but a (unintentionally cynical) tactic.)
