The internet term "trolling" comes from the fishing term of the same name. It comes from the fact that you're "putting the bait in" (making some stupid comment) and waiting for the "fish" (other people) to "take the bait" (retaliate).
I love literal brown townogies like this.
so the term "troll" actually came from the word "trolling", which has it's meaning based off of an action you do while fishing, but also just happens to be the word that most people relate to being that "under the bridge" type creature?
