Trolling

Typing an ignorant insult or remark in a comment section or forum on the internet and sitting back waiting to get an inflamed, angry response from a person on the internet. It is not successful trolling if the troll actually believes the ignorant remark or if the trollee becomes privy to the trolling (or the faking of the ignorance).

Originally derived from a method of fishing called trolling in which the fishermen cast lures from their boat and move slowly (10mph) while they sit lazily waiting for a naive fish to mistake their lure for real food.

Trump: You're trolling.
Troll: You're smart.
Trump: Thanks.

Troll: I was trolling.
