Don't be a "Troll?"

Today's Word
TROLL

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by trying to start arguments and upset people. They may do this by posting deliberately inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.  The Troll has an opinion on everything, and seemingly waits 24/7 for any chance to air it. Also known as a FPITA.
