trolling

The act of deceiving people (solely for entertainment) by projecting a false perspective that differs from your true perspective.
Trolling isn't just an internet thing, it's been around for millennia. The term trolling came around recently as a reference to the fishing term, making the analogy that you're in a boat trailing a joke net behind you for anyone in the wide ocean of the web to be swept up in. Then you just cruise along chuckling, enjoying your day.

Troll

That guy at work who likes to annoy the crap out of you by asking you confrontational questions, always taking the opposing side of an argument and stirs the pot just to humor himself. He is not satisfied unless you take a stand or choose a side, if you don't he will say you're a cop out. The only time you see him smile is if he's trolling you.
I came in here to troll you guys, he says grinning from ear to ear, but it's too hot in here.
