What is Columbo?
1.
Lt. in LAPD. Easily the best "detective" America has to offer. Characterized by:
1: A beat-up raincoat.
2: An aging Peugot.
3: A cigar (the cheap kind).
4: Follows a suspect around, irritating them until they slip up.
5: No apparent first name (actually, he does have one: Lt.)
6: A never-seen wife.
To call someone "Columbo" or "a Columbo" can either be taken as a compliment or a threat.
"Just one more thing..."
2.
US Police lt.
He was born in Italy.
His wife is probably very ugly, because we never saw her, but he speaks always about her.
He seems completely doped.
My wife would love to have your autograph.

Used to describe a final/minor step or issue in a computer/software repair that becomes in itself a major issue.
A 'columbo' is named for a the TV show detetective by the same name who was known for his phrase at the supposed end of his questions/investigation "oh yeah, one more thing" - and USUALLY that 'one more thing' is the 'kicker' as it were.
It took me six hours to fix it because I had a columbo.
That airbook setup had more columbos than I could count!
