Big Cheese controls the country

The term refers to the time before Columbus, not before the country Colombia.

I thought that was hilarious, given how often Jez and sibling sites have used “Columbia” when referring to the South American country.

Uh...pretty sure it’s referring to cultures that existed pre-Christopher Columbus, not Colombia the country.

“Pre-Columbian” refers to the era before Columbus and his shit went down (so usually a reference to any/all indigenous peoples across the Americas), not specifically to the region of Colombia. Though misspellings of Colombia are, indeed, aggravating.

Thank you - came here to say this too. “Colombian” - pertaining to the country of Colombia (like Shakira); “pre-Columbian” - anything in the Americas pre-1492 (like the jewelry design they are talking about)

If referring to events specifically in the republic of Colombia prior to 1886, I suppose (as strange a reference point as that would be), but pre-Columbian is the correct way to spell the historic era prior to 1492, and the arrival of Christopher....wait for it.... Columbus!

You’re definitely wrong about that.

Is this a joke? I don’t get this joke.

Nope

FYI pre-Columbian is right.

It’s the ‘wrong’ religious fanatics responsible for this, so jezebel commenters for once don’t care about women’s rights.

Right? Mayonnaise is French, and French things are inherently sophisticated, so im gonna dip all my fries in it without shame. Just like the French do.

The delegates from the state of Texas object to this premise.

I don’t understand the dislike of mayonnaise. Like, it has been explained to me that it’s a visceral thing and sure, fine, but people are really fucking extra about how much they hate it. I should probably bow out of this comment section now, haha.

Coraline wasn’t Roald Dahl, it was Neil Gaiman...

It’s tactical, man. Don’t ask why.

Well, that’s something. I don’t know how the lede on this story isn’t just this video tho..
