Typing an ignorant insult or remark in a comment section or forum on the internet and sitting back waiting to get an inflamed, angry response from a person on the internet. It is not successful trolling if the troll actually believes the ignorant remark or if the trollee becomes privy to the trolling (or the faking of the ignorance).
Originally derived from a method of fishing called trolling in which the fishermen cast lures from their boat and move slowly (10mph) while they sit lazily waiting for a naive fish to mistake their lure for real food.

Trolling, which originates from the word "troll", is when a person on the internet or in real life known as a "troller" messes around with others for amusement. This can result in the victims, or people called "trollees" being very upset, angry, or sometimes laughing along with the trollers. In some scenarios the trollees don't have any reaction. Trolling can range from simple tricks (e.g. the classic water bucket on top of the door trick) to the worst deeds known to man (e.g. simultaneously killing hundreds or thousands of people)
