Usually known as an internet term, it is now applicable to human interactions. The act of "trolling" is a way mocking an individual for the internal self pleasure of "pulling one over" on another person. Often, people are unaware they are trolling, and are merely trying to maximize the social situation to make themselves laugh. Trolling is not seen as a true form of communication because the troller does not emit real feelings or opinions but is merely trying to incite the trolled to participate in the trolling. Can be used between friends on a third party who doesn't know they're being trolled. Once people realize you're trolling them they become defensive because they recognize their being mocked. Really, there's no reason behind it other than for personal entertainment.
Ex. Innocent Conversational Trolling
Troller: No, the Big Lebowski was the stupidest movie I've ever seen, really a true waste of time.
Trollee: You have to be kidding me! It was amazing!
Troller: Honestly, I didn't laugh once.
Trollee: It was sooo good! You must have awful taste in movies.
