schmidhubered 

Being "schmidhubered" looks something like this:

1) Invent something brilliant that no one cares about. Experience derision.
2) That thing becomes popular years later. Someone else is given credit for inventing it. That person appears in the New York Times and is declared smartest person alive.
3) Go on a campaign explaining the situation and how you are the rightful inventor and thus the rightful Smartest Person Alive.
4) Everyone accuses you of being a sore loser and no one takes you seriously.
5) A verb is named after you.

The trouble is one cannot really be schmidhubered; they must schmidhuber themselves.
