That sounds a bit different. You could diffuse a situation where it's difficult to turn off in a social setting simply by being aware of it and acknowledging that you have a weird habit that has to do with your career.

Arguably, what makes mansplaining so frustrating in the first place is the total lack of awareness on the offender's part. Being aware that you do that gives you an avenue to be humble about it and maybe even lead to a friendly icebreaker.

So maybe if you start to feel like you're mansplaining, the best move is just to come clean about it and try to laugh it off?

You can say, "Sorry if this is basic, but i don't know what you know." But it still often comes off as condescending or you have this weird back and forth conversation where you're trying to find gaos to fill. It's easier to explain it all and leave no gaps.
