Wikipedia disagrees. As we know it is the greatest most accurate source of information online

I was honestly looking for a thread that discussed the possible origin of the word, and this is the first (or rather, last) thread I was able to find on this....

So, how do you think it is defined?

I think it comes more from fishing terminology (trolling the waters, looking for something to catch) than the "Troll under the bridge".

Discuss the Archaeological Necro Bump.....

Hot grits/Natalie Portman
Back in the day, an anonymous troller (aka the "hot grits guy") would post a reply to every story with a simple "I have poured hot grits down my pants. Thank you." While he mostly got modded down as a troll, the hot grits guy is really the first recurring troll on Slashdot.
Natalie Portman is a popular target for this troll. When referring to her, they frequently profess their endless love for a statue of the naked and petrified actress, preferably covered in hot grits. Naked and Petrified is now such an infamous troll that it virtually epitomizes Slashdot trolling, and is often referred to and parodied in Slashdot comments. Other incarnations of the troll suggest that Natalie Portman pour hot grits into their (the trolls') underwear.

Trolls frequently feign ignorance to deliberately get a rise out of you.

Are you sure about that?

For someone who's been a member here since 2001, the OP is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed to ask such an obvious question.
