Troll
意味: Someone who posts inflammatory content online to provoke others.
Trolls thrive on reaction—they post provocative, offensive, or deliberately wrong content not because they believe it, but because watching others get upset entertains them. The classic advice 'don't feed the trolls' recognizes that engagement is what they want. Trolling ranges from harmless pranks to genuinely harmful harassment. The verb form ('trolling') has evolved to sometimes mean light teasing among friends, distinct from malicious trolling.

The fishing meaning dominates—trolls drag inflammatory 'bait' hoping someone will bite. The word gained mainstream recognition in the 2000s as social media amplified troll behavior.
