When some North American men spread their arms or legs in a crowded space, taking up more personal space than is necessary and causing inconvenience or discomfort to others. Although these North American men claim this sprawl is necessary to create comfortable space for their testicles, they can't explain how their outspread arms are necessary for their testicles, nor can they explain why men from the rest of the world can sit with crossed legs or in a corner and not die of discomfort.
Are you the Marlboro man riding a horse through the wilderness or are you on public transport? Instead of us all standing and staring at your crotch and armpit, how about you check that manspread?

When a male sits in public and takes up as much space as humanly possible.
Also something triggered femists made up to bash men with. Buzzfeed in particular popularized the saying.

The annoying practice of men spreading there legs much wider than necessary causing others to either be squished or unable to sit. To all the triggered men who are pissy because they’re finally getting called out on their bullshit, men are obviously not expected to sit with their knees perfectly together because of their dicks, but you do not need to take up three seats to protect your balls and you know it.
Manspreader: *spreads out legs as far as humanly possible*
Person riding the subway: Um excuse me but you’re taking up a lot of room and I need to sit-
Manspreader: FEMINIST SHIT!! I’M NOT MANSPREADING!!! YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO OPPRESS ME BECAUSE I HAVE A DICK. GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN YOU FEMINIST SNOWFLAKE BITCH!!!!

Manspreading is the physical manifestation of small dick energy, a biological mutation that evolved in some human males to trick potential mates and/or perceived physical threats into believing there is a big dick present where, in fact, none exists.
That small-dick guy on Urban Dictionary keeps saying that feminists created the term 'manspreading' because feminist women don't appreciate the enormous power of a big dick, while said small-dick guy also claims that dicks are easily crushed/suffocated/damaged by being in close proximity to human flesh.

A feminist term used to discriminate against people with external genitalia who needs to spread their legs to sit comfortably.
"Look at the man over there, he is clearly oppressing women by Manspreading to claim dominance in the name of the patriarchy! ".

Parking a large truck too far away from the curb, causing oncoming traffic to veer around said large vehicle.
I just had to swerve all the way to left side of the road to get around that F-350 parked outside the 7-11; textbook vehicular manspreading.
