When someone deliberately links to the Rick Astley music video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" via youtube on internet forums. Originally popularized in the World of Warcraft community forums, it has spread to many other forums across the internet.
It can be either a straight link or come with a deviating description prior to the link. When someone clicks on it, they are "RickRolled"
Also known as /RickRoll, RickRoll'd, Rickrolled, etc.

Being fooled by a seamingly awesome YouTube video link given on a forum or a blog which is ultimatly a link to the music video of Never Gonna Give You Up from the 80's english pop star, Rick Astley.
The infamous "rickroller" below named marcellus67 will promote, in the following example, on a forum thread, a particularly incredible video by using of exagerated sensionnalism with the idea to catch the attention of those deviant perverts. Those same perverts, overly excited by the idea of that primate pleasuring that whore, will click on that YouTube link with the quickness only to hear the first note of Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley and be amazed by his ginger awesomeness.
