trolls.

Trolls are fun, but on the subject of trolls I can link a few of my other ideas to the idea and aesthetics of trolls. I enjoyed the idea of researching into words and definitions and so I could most certainly start looking into the definition of the word troll, which has a lot of meanings especially when referring to the internet in the same context.

An idea would be to try to use most of the visual items on my list to represent the non visual items, and so this would start by defining the many definitions of the word troll. In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory messages in an online community, such as on an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the intent of provoking other users. Trolls are also monsters though aren't they, primarily?

The contemporary use of the term is alleged to have first appeared on the Internet in the late 1980s, but the earliest known example is from 1992. It is thought to be a truncation of the phrase trolling for suckers. That phrase is itself derived from the fishing technique of slowly dragging a lure or baited hook from a moving boat, waiting for fish to strike, a technique known as trolling.

The word also evokes the trolls portrayed in Scandinavian folklore and children's tales, as they are often creatures bent on mischief and wickedness. The verb "troll" originates from Old French "troller", a hunting term. The noun "troll", however, comes from the Old Norse word for a mythological monster.
