Meanings
plural Columbiners
- slangOne who idolizes the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre, with this fascination often expressed on social media in a fandom-like way.
Maybe that's what was truly frightening about the Columbiners—not their veneration of Harris and Klebold, but what they articulated about themselves through their very public devotion.
