Christopher Columbus Disorder 

Christopher Columbus Disorder (CCD) is a mental disorder in which the afflicted believe they have discovered something new, when in fact, indigenous peoples have known about the "discovery" (i.e., object, phenomenon, area, species, etc.) for time immemorial.
Speaker 1: Hey, did you hear Dr. Pumpkinstein discovered a new mammal species in Central America?
Speaker 2: Central America, you say? Haven't there been indigenous people living there for thousands of years with traditional stories about that same mammal passed down for generations?
Speaker 1: Well ya, but if they knew about it, they never published a paper on it.

Speaker 2: Sounds like Dr. Pumpkinstein has a case of CCD.
Speaker 1: CCD?
Speaker 2: Ya, CCD... Christopher Columbus Disorder. Because Columbus didn't discover sh*t!

Christopher 

The latin being Christos-Philo. Christos=annointed and Philo= lover of. Lover of the annointed or Annointed lover. Either way Christophers deep down strive to live up to the moniker. Usually going by Chris when young and reclaiming the whole name with maturity to honor their mothers who chose the full regal version at birth. A bolt of lightning combined with the cool of the ocean breeze. Christophers can knock your socks off in the bedroom and out party the most die hard of ragers be it bong or booze. His lampshade gets bigger the longer the party goes yet can hold his own going fist to fist. A lover's lover and a fighter's fighter. Weaknesses include vagina, marijuana and a cold beer. If he has a thousand dollars on a Friday morning it will become $2.78 by Monday night.
That Christopher guy from the bonfire last night had the dankest herb and he left in that van full of girls to go to a private afterhours.

Christopher Columbus Syndrome 

A mental defect that makes you think you have discovered a place that already has people living there.

Those with this syndrome often take the stuff of the people living there because they think it's just lying around unclaimed. They also do whatever they want to the people living there, because this syndrome makes the sufferer believe that those are not really people. Finally, people with this syndrome often simply take over the property without really noticing the people who were already using it.

This syndrome was first described by Spike Lee in speaking of urban gentrification.
Here’s the thing: I grew up here in Fort Greene. I grew up here in New York. Then comes the motherfuckin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfuckin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. We bought the motherfuckin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfuckin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fuck outta here! Nah. You can’t do that. You can’t just come in the neighborhood and start bogarting and say, like you’re motherfuckin’ Columbus and kill off the Native Americans.
