Your Definition
A form of verbalsplaining where, instead of engaging with the content of someone's argument, you simply declare it "nonsense" and then explain why it's nonsense without ever addressing what was actually said. The sensesplainer positions themselves as the arbiter of sense, the guardian of meaning, the one who gets to decide what counts as coherent. They don't need to understand your argument; they've already decided it's nonsense, and now they're going to explain to you why your own thoughts don't make sense. It's the rhetorical equivalent of covering your ears and then giving a lecture on the importance of listening. Sensesplaining is especially popular among people who have no counterargument but can't bear to simply say "I disagree."
