Troll

Verb

To trick or deceive someone into embarrassment or to make them feel worried. Typically not serious and is only used as a practical joke.

Noun

Someone who partakes often in the act of trolling or has recently trolled.

Origin

Derived from English "troll" from the story of a troll under a bridge. The Troll stopped people from reaching the end of the bridge. People started to refer to someone as a troll if they stop or slow people from getting to their primary objective. The word later evolved to meaning anyone who performs distractions or pranks on people.
Verb ) "I troll my brother when I tell him his shoes are untied!"

Noun) "Bob was being such a troll last night when he kept telling everyone that their shoes were untied!"

Trolling

Trolling is the art of sparking a flame war. It is derived from the fishing term as it does involve bait and stringing targets along. There are both subtle and overt ways of doing this. And mining the salt from the booty-blasted is a delicious endeavor with either set of methodologies. And it doesn't have to be disingenuous either as identifying uncomfortable truths to those who don't want to hear it qualifies. Now to really master trolling is not so much about being covert and hidden but to steer with as little effort as possible the flame war as to benefit from the outcome, and sometimes that is just delicious salt mining for the lulz.

fap trolling

A non-consensual kink wherein someone engages in trolling behavior online to attempt to “dominate” unsuspecting participants in a forum or a comment section, with the explicit intent to derive sexual gratification from this act. Some fap trollers will make it clear that they are fantasizing about the emotional state or physical appearance of their targets in their comments. The targets may be members of the fap troll’s preferred gender, but this is not always the case. Can be difficult to differentiate from regular trolling but the content of their comments can reveal their intent.
Example 1
Person 1: this person keeps trolling me in this comment section and won’t leave me alone!
Person 2: They seem to be really enthusiastic about the idea that they’re making you angry, they’re probably fap trolling, stop commenting if you really want to annoy them

Example 2
Person 1: Hey, I saw like a million comments you left on this one post, I didn’t know you cared that much about subject
Person 2: I don’t really care that much, I was just fap trolling, I didn’t realize it would show up on your feed, my bad

Troll

Someone who goes online to harass others for attention and/or amusement.
You've been trolled
You've been trolled
You have probably been told
'Don't reply to this guy
He is just getting a rise out of you'
Yes, it's true
You respond and that's his cue
To start trouble on the double
While he strokes his manly stubble
You've been trolled
You've been trolled
You should probably just fold
When the only winning move is not to play!
And yet you keep on trying, mindlessly replying,
You've been trolled, you've been trolled, have a nice day!
