real world

1. The world outside the Internet.
2. The world outside the education system/academia.
3. The world as experienced by those who are not wealthy and have no friends in high places.

1. Sorry I haven't been in the chatroom lately, the real world got in the way.
2. All those bleedin'-heart intellectuals ain't got no idea 'bout the real world.
3. She has such an easy life. She should try living in the real world sometime.

Troll the World

To do or say something intentionally provocative, simply to get a reaction from the world and create controversy. Often used as a publicity stunt.

To Troll as on a message board, only using more mainstream forms of media

Kanye West was able to Troll the World by taking the microphone from Taylor Swift during the 2009 VMA awards.

the real world

A reality TV show that airs on MTV. A show that started out with some noble goals about diversity, social issues, etc. It has, however, devolved into a mindless homo erotic hot tub party of drunken twenty-somethings. All cast members think they'll never have to work a real job after they've been on the show. Former Real World "stars" wind up broke and being pimped out to "make an appearance" at seedy nightclubs for a few hundred bucks. Totally pathetic.

The continued success of the Real World shocks even the most jaded MTV programming director. "People actually still watch this crap?"
