A troll is someone who will state something with the intention of stirring up controversy. Usually the statement is really obvious or absurd, and only absurd people will get offended and upset about it. For example, one might purposefuly spel things wrong or use poor grammar, knowing that this will drive some peoplecrazy, eliciting a response (from Know Your Meme). If you respond to a troll, you are said to be feeding the troll, so keep your coolface on.
Successful trolling brings pleasure at the expense of others. There is controversy though in identifying people who are sincerely crazy or idiotic on purpose and those who are trolling.
Trollface/Coolface is a meme with a comic depicting ‘what trolls want you to believe’ vs. ‘what is actually happening’.
