news troll

Someone who says inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic statements in a news broadcast or at least on television or radio broadcasts, with the primary intent of provoking listeners into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. This is done to distract from the actual issues and to get the News Troll's name repeated in other news forums or shows in order to remain relevant and to sell their books to their listening audience, the people who want to believe that the ridiculous things that News Trolls state are true .

News Trolls like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, or other supposed "news" media commentators that actually spread propaganda and misinformation campaigns instead of actual news stories for people that don't consider reality good enough for them and/or believe that critical thinking and facts are either "liberal biased", or "left wing". Anyone trying to instill fear, anger, or distract from the real issues of the day is a News Troll.

Troll Strolling

When you're retired from the glory days of internet arguing, but you feel that warrior's whimsy of entering the arena one more time. This time the cuts are effortless, precise, but so too you know the retort can't hurt you. You're vision may be strained, you may have grayed, but you are Master & Commander, you are the keyboard warrior.

"Man, what ever happened to Tyrone? Like he was pro Alex Jones, anti Obama crazy guy for 8 years and suddenly his Facebook went silent. Who knows Maurice, I bet he's still out there somewhere on the web, Troll Strolling when there's an injustice happening in some post."

A social media post that invites comments as to whether one is attending a certain city or event on a given weekend. Most commonly used by D-List gays traveling to various circuit parties to search out other D-List gays.

Did you see Adam's troll call for Washington Pride. Of course, David commented immediately that he's going.

Troll Dancing

Moving one's body in vivacious manner, such that those around you believe it to be a sincere expression of joy, but your true motivations are to sow discord and mock the entire event.

"Patrick had a great time at the concert last night. Did you see him dancing?"
"Nah, that was troll dancing, bruh. He hated it."
