We had a little incident with a troll this evening. Most of the posts have been deleted and those that weren't deleted have been locked. It was fun while it lasted... well, okay, not really.

I'd like to know who has nothing better to do than to troll message boards.

***tabacco*** · 02-13-2005, 10:57 PM

Well, he's an AOL user...

What's a troll? (other than a warty guy with a "living-under-a-bridge" fetish, I mean.)

Troll: meaning "to fish by trailing bait behind one's boat", and hence "to post an article to Usenet designed to elicit flames from new or unperceptive readers, while signalling levity to the savvy and experienced", is unconnected with "to trawl" (="to fish by dragging a net along the sea floor"). "Troll" seems to come from Middle French _troller_="to run here and there", of Germanic origin, cognate with Middle High German _trollen_="to walk or run with short steps" and perhaps also with "troll", the mythological being; "trawl" seems to come from Middle Dutch _traghel_="dragnet", perhaps from Latin _tragula_="dragnet", from _trahere_="drag".
