The feeling of entitlement to an area even though you weren't here first.
"I was here studying first when a group of kids with Columbus Complexes came in & looked at me like I should leave"
"I was using this machine at the gym when a guy with Columbus Complex swooped in & used it without asking if I was done"

A Portuguese footballer and penalty merchant who is the descendant of the famous Italian explorer Christopher Columbus.
Cristiano Columbus is known for discovering numerous countries on international breaks together with his assistant Bruno Penandes.
He would normaly travel millions of miles, experiencing severe goal droughts, before arriving at a previously undiscovered location and planting his flag while shouting SIUUUUUU! Like a total bellend. Absolute fraud.
"Do you know about the countries Lithuania and Faroe Islands?"
'No, when were they discovered?'
"Last week by the explorer Cristiano Columbus."
'Oh right, no wonder I never heard about those places before.'
"Neither did I"

I thought we were going out this Friday night, but now she is six columbusing me.
According to what school tells you: A great man who accidentally discovered America when no one else could find it.
Reality: A greedy piece of genocidal shit who wasn't the first person to find America, the Native Americans discovered America before anyone else and after the Native Americans found America, vikings discovered America, and a several explorers found it too. But for some reason, Columbus ends up taking all the credit for something the Native Americans discovered.To add insult to injury, he ends up enslaving a bunch of Native Americans to take to Spain as slaves (this is 100% true) and his Spanish sailors and him killed approximately 8 million Native Americans (also true) Talk about some major bullshit.
Teacher: And that's how Christopher Columbus discovered America when no one else did.
4th grader: *raises his hand*
Teacher: Yes, Timmy?
4th grader: Didn't the Native Americans discover America first?
Teacher: Nope, it was Columbus!
4th grader: I'm pretty sure it was the Native Americans.
Teacher: I SAID IT WAS COLUMBUS!!!
4th grader: But-
Teacher: THAT IS IT! YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE "Columbus discovered America, not the Native Americans." 50 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Declaring yourself the winner in the middle of a petty, nonsensical argument by stating, "I win". By doing this, you are officially the winner of the argument in question. This rule is named after Christopher Columbus, who declared that he discovered a country he did not in fact discover, but still receives the credit for doing so.
Cole: What are you talking about? Just because I'm black doesn't mean I love fried chicken!
Stephen: Yes it does. I win.
Cole: What?! You can't do that!
Stephen: Yes I can. Columbus rule. Suck it.

A Catholic service fraternity for Catholic men aged 18 and up. Started by the *Venerable Father Micheal J McGivney in New Haven Connecticut, the Knights of Columbus is a service organization which Catholic men participate to support the Roman Catholic Church and people in need of service. Often called "the strong Right arm of the Church" Knights pride themselves in humble service for Christ's Church on earth. Knights have financed things such as the March For Life (in Canada and the U.S.A), proposition 8 in California in support of the true definition of Holy matrimony, and have renovated many Catholic Churches all across the world. There are about 1,800,000 members, many from the Philippines, the US and Canada. members in 2008 have contributed around $144,000,000 to charities and have done over 50,000,000 hours in community service hours in that year alone. The values of each members reflect the aims of the Catholic organization which are: charity, unity, brotherhood and patriotism. Because of these 4 values, many knights are in the military and help veterans.
*Venerable is a title given to Catholics who are in the 2nd stage to Sainthood.
