You are either "just asking" or want to troll. My main question is "Why ask?".

Trolling was originally a term for internet goers whose sole purpose was to raise a ruckus at internet forums. They would "fish" for arguments, compliments, and bassically just trying to get as much attention as possible. So like the word trolling can mean fishing, this is how it was meant to be used.

The bait could consist of anything, from a controversial topic, to a stupid question.. just as long as the troller knows it will create a surplus of replies, arguments, and negative or positive attention, the troller has succeeded.


A "troll" is a slang term for a troller, but more often I've come to find troll is more used to describe an anti-social poster who simply flames and instigates arguments without the purpose of attention, but simply amuses himself by being a dick.

So that's why when I open my dictionary for the definition of 'trolling' I find the word 'Koga' next to it?
