A term used to describe people, typically in a lower age range, who attempt to make a nuisance of themselves by acting like an ass and proceeding to used cliched memes such as, but not limited to "Umad, bro?".

The term has aged poorly, comparable to the way MLG has. Trolling (because no one could have known this!) used to refer to intelligent toying with others to incite rage. However, creativity has waned and now the word is known by basically anyone with an internet connection. Monkey see, monkey do.

This has been a public service announcement.

Once thought as a person who deliberately makes provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. It has now lost all its meaning, and is extended to anyone who dislikes the viewpoint of another person's comment, when they have no other

way out of countering it in a civil debate.
Example:
Poster:Feminism is not about equality, but about up the desire to maintain the patriarchy that benefit women (male obligations and female privileges) while jettisoning the parts that do not benefit them (female obligations and male privileges).

Poster 2: Fuck off troll.
