A person who deliberately tries to annoy people online to get a reaction. This can also be done IRL, but is most commonly done when hackers go onto multiplayer games and screw up everyone's game or when typing deliberately stupid comments onto social media and waiting for replies.
-In-Game example-
Player 1: You have to jump to the other side!
Player 2: Okay, I'll go for it! *jumps*
Troll: *hacks and makes player 2 fall*
Player 2: Crap! Someone hacked me!
-Social Media example-
Troll: man i hate those mooslums!!!!1!!1
Triggered people: What is wrong with you? You have completely disregarded a country and have shown great amounts of disrespect. This is why people hate America.
-Real life example-
Friend: Hold on a sec, someone's at the door *walks away*.
Troll: *shakes up friend's Coca Cola bottle*
Friend: Oh, it was just the mailman. *absent-mindedly opens bottle and it spills everywhere*
Troll: HAHAHAHA!
Friend: I hate you!

An unkempt homeless person. Can be seen frequently walking up to cars holding cardboard signs advertising their sob stories. The bane of an EMT's existence, when a troll wants free room and board they call 911 to secure an ambulance transport to a hospital.
Did you run any good calls last night?
No, just picked up a bunch of trolls. One guy was using his sleeve as toilet paper.

Trolling – (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument
Trolling on-line forums as described above is actually analogous to the fishing technique of “trolling”, where colorful baits and lures are pulled behind a slow moving boat, often with multiple fishing lines, covering a large bodies of water, such as a large lake or the ocean. The trolling lures attract unsuspecting fish, intriguing them with the way they move through the water, thus enticing these foolish fish to “take the bait”. Not unlike unsuspecting internet victims, once hooked, the fish are reeled in for the catch before they realize they have been duped by the Troll/Fisherman

This guy made a really rude and off the wall comment about my You Tube video, I think he was just trolling for a response, but I ignored him
