Columbus

Verb:

Much like Columbus didn't actually do anything more meaningful than manage to get lost, avoid being mutinied and narrowly escape dying by "discovering" the Americas...

This term describes the shameless appropriation of something that has been recognized as done widely by many folks already and being claimed as "discovered" by this new Tik Tok generation because some so called "influencer" posted it on a TikTok and shared it to Facebook in an effort for internet fame and clout by going viral.
So I saw this TikTok last night, this girl was like "Ice cream is good, and I love root beer. I mixed them together and OMG you guys!!! It's actually good!" This bish is really gonna "Columbus" root beer floats?!?

A city in Ohio with a hyperactive towing crew just lying in wait so they can snatch up your car the moment you break down and impound it so you have to spend extra time retrieving it even though you were just passing through and stopped briefly but now you're stuck for three days and not only need to pay to get your car back from the thieves who are the town, but need to also have your car repaired afterwards.
Hey, man. Whatever you do, do not stop in Columbus.
