While hated by most, these people are typically non-social for reasons beyond their control, and manage to get that one glimpse at society by eliciting responses from forum-goers who, nine times out of ten, think they know everything and that anything that goes against the norm is bad. There are of course the assholes who do it just for fun, but a lot of these people are suffering: people with manic (or often just plain old) depression, people with real issues in real life, or people who's real life isn't as cupcakes and unicorns as people on the internet assume.
I say this because I know people in real life who many would consider trolls, and they "troll" on forums because they receive no attention from their family and very little from anyone else. They are saints for putting up with it in real life, but it'd be unhealthy to pent up all their frustration. So what do they do? They speak out on the internet, often in obnoxious and annoying matters. The very fact that people respond to what they say is important to them, just because they get satisfaction in knowing that some people somewhere acknowledge their existence, and perhaps more importantly their opinion. Believe me, most trolls you see aren't "a poor excuse of a human being". Their lives in real life is worse than many could imagine. Everyone needs to vent sometimes.

Troll: WOW U FUCKS NARUTO IS FOR HOMOS ONLY.
Forum-goers: U poor excuse for a human being you need to die
Troll (in real life): Man, I don't really like Naruto. But no one knows that. No one in my life give a flying fuck about anything I say or do.

A fo-sport for those who are not necessarily out of shape, but lack skills for other sports. Because it is a fo-sport, those who are capable at it do not consider themselves "jocks" rather rebels. Indeed, these people are rebels without a cause, and most of them in turn will fail at life.
Person 1: Man, Johnny wasn't looked really athletic, but he got cut from Basketball, Football, AND Baseball!
Person 2: I know. I heard he felt so bad, he got into Break Dancing.
Person 1: So that's why he think's he so cool!

Short for Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a semi-fast food chain that originated in the DC area but now is across the whole Eastern United States (there is one near where I live in Indianapolis). They have very good, albeit very greasy, burgers and fries. They give very generous portions: a large order of Fries is easily enough for four average-appetite men to finish, and a small usually takes a few hours to eat. All in all, a very good and reasonably prices resturant.

A card game that is fun, but when Asian players join, is taken too seriously and loses many of its fun elements.
Rob: Man, that was a fun game of Mao we had going until Steve Chen came, won two straight rounds, and made rules involving college-level math.

A show on Fox that, while witty, is very insisting upon itself and often has VERY poor choice in the music is covers.
