An older medical term (originating sometime between the late 19th century and early 20th century) used to describe a person who has sexual intercourse with others of the same sex.
The term has long been discarded by gay people as politically incorrect, due mostly to its connotation as a purely sexual and/or mental disorder. It is more politically correct nowadays to use the terms gay or LGBT (A catch-all term which includes transgendered people) as they connote both a sexual and romantic attraction to the opposite sex, as opposed to an uncontrollable compulsion to engage in specific sexual acts.

TO EDITORS: Come on youse guys, I'm givin you quality definitions ovah heah. Help me out? :)
Noun- The troll's counterpart, analagous to a hero's antihero. To put it briefly and bluntly, trolls try to make you look like a pussy; antitrolls try to make you look like an asshole.
To further explain:
The common troll seeks to sow discord and negative emotion among an otherwise peaceful (may or may not be intelligent) dialogue, which is usually held on an Internet thread or message board.
The common antitroll attempts to inject logic and positive reasoning into an otherwise hateful (may or may not be unintelligent) collective diatribe, also usually held on the Internet.
However, note the three characteristics both have in common:
1. Both are contradicting the purpose of the thread they target, and quite often don't care about the topic itself.
2. Both are commonly the subjects of hatred for doing so; they also enjoy this hatred.
3. Both usually have nothing better to do with their lives, at least during the actual troll/antitroll session, and know that their efforts won't change anyone's opinions/views. It's just for the lulz (trolls)/ to pass the time(antitrolls).

Bieber-Hater Chatroom:
Hater: These Beaver fans are f*cking insane. This one girl got all butthurt and hit me just cause I said I hated the prick...
Antitroll: You can't really blame a celebrity for their stupid fans, dude... Anyway, why do you guys hate him so much? What has he done to you?
Hater: He fucking ruined music for me, which impacts my life.
Antitroll: Right...so...why not just ignore him and listen to something else? You guys seem to be obsessing over Bieber as much as the fangirls you talk about...
Hater: ….stop ruining our hate dude, it's just jokes. Who the hell invited this buzzkill?
*hatred continues*
(Note how the antitroll attempts to crush otherwise harmless hate with insistent logic, regardless of the outcome or victims)
