Word of the Day: Trolling

Postby ILuvBillVal » Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:32

Oh nooooo, not that one! Yep, that one. One of the most overused and annoying words in internet existence at the moment. This word in its most common context was basically cooked up by people with an awful sense of humor who have an inability to make funny statements. They then chastise people who are by accusing them of "trolling." Or something to that effect. Now I'm aware that there are certain types of trolling that fall out of this distinction but it's just become too broad and vague of a word to really be confined to any one meaning, and that is why today I will provide you with an alternate definition to enhance your vocabulary.

35. Trolling

Having sex with a homeless person underneath a bridge.

Man I can't believe I blacked-out and went trolling last night.
Norberto H or bust.

Thank you. It is right up there with NOOB and alike. I just can't take anyone seriously who uses these, and as a joke they are done, over done.

The term is widely misunderstood by many as meaning "troll" like or doing things like a troll would (The behavior of trolls on internet forums is still an underfunded research area).This certainly provides a great mental image, but trolling is actually a fishing reference. As in I'm trolling for tuna with this giant net behind my boat.
Or, I'm going to make a ridiculous, offensive, or incorrect statement with the intention of "catching" people into the argument.

I like bill's definition better though.
