drive-by troll

A troll who logs onto a blog, posts a couple of zingers and then exits, all in less than 60 seconds. The digital equivalent of a drive-by shooting.

With all the flame wars that are raging, this blog has been hit by a lot of drive-by trolls recently.

Beach Troll

Beach Trolls can be either male or female and are found in beach communities throughout the world.

They are socially predatory creatures and usually obsessed with their exterior appearances, while neglecting development of their blackening souls.

Their interior ugliness comes out as they age, so that they are easily recognizable when older, but the young and middle-aged beach trolls will sometimes fool you with their charm and temporarily youthful beauty.

Their favorite pastimes include sleeping with married people, collecting jewelry and looking in the mirror.

Wow, I just found my ex-best friend in our Jacuzzi. She was having a threesome with my teenage son and husband. She is one mean, beach troll.

trollercoaster

A trollercoaster is a word used to describe a common phenomenon on the interwebz. You see trolls (people who cause controversy for their own entertainment) often end up trolling other trolls. This results in a glorious uneducated discussing of pure controversy where everyone is ending up trying to anger one another, thus resulting in many trolls trolling trolls that troll trolls. This ladies and gentlemen is what we call a trollercoaster.

(trolling is a direct derivation from the word troll and is a verb used to describe the attempt to cause controversy for no other reason than for the posters own enjoyment)

Pete: Hey Jim I tried to troll a guy yesterday, but it turned out he was a troll. Other people joined in and tried to troll me aswell as trolling the guy i originally intended to troll. They also trolled one another.

Jim: Wow that must have been one hell of a trollercoaster ride.

Last Word Troll

A Last Word Troll is a person in an online forum (typically political but not limited) who claims a desire to end engagement with one or more people who are posting, but in their parting post they attempt to make a further point and/or hurl insults, condescension, etc. at others that warrant a response- to which the Last Word Troll always counter posts. This may go back and forth a bit(between 5 minutes and 5 days) with the Last Word Troll becoming increasingly agitated and insulting to others, yet continuing to respond when he/she is called out. The only way to stop a Last Word Troll is to post “I think you are a Last Word Troll; let’s see if I am correct”

Last word trolls are a bane to online forums

Insane troll logic

A path of reasoning that usually only makes sense to the person or people using it. Insane troll logic often varries in degree and can range from sligtly different to absolutely preposterous. This is not to say Insane troll logic cannot come to a correct conclusion.

some common characteristics of insane troll logic (leaning towards the ridiculous) include...
-complete disregard for the accepted laws of physics
-Extreme ambiguity
-Excessive use or reliance on fallicious arguments.
- non sequitur
-completely absurd sometimes to the point of being ludicrous

Some Examples of the use of Insane troll logic.

Ex 1)
Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Crowd: Burn! Burn them up! Burn!...
Bedevere:
And what do you burn apart from witches?
Villagers:
More witches!
Wood!
Bedevere:So, why do witches burn?
Villager: because they're made of wood?
Bedevere:
So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
Does wood sink in water?
Villager: No. No. No, it floats! It floats!
Bedevere: What also floats in water?
Arthur: A duck!
Bedevere: Exactly. So, logically...
Villager: If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood.
Bedevere: And therefore?
Villager: A witch!

Ex 2)
"What would be nice? Hotpot? Sukiyaki? Crab is a no-no. I can't take it. Picking the flesh out of the shell drives me nuts. Why can't crabs make their shells edible? How come they didn't do anything about that during the course of evolution, might I ask?" - Haruhi Suzumiya
(Most of us can reason that crabs have shell's lest they be eaten by predators such as Haruhi Suzumiya)
