It's worth noting that the word "troll" in norwegian references a type of being in scandinavian folklore, not your typical "internet-troll".
- dylan604 6y agoAnd where exactly did you think the internet troll's name was derived?
- Quai 6y agoTrolling, the fishing method. For me, a internet troll is a person that says something provocation hoping that someone will "bite" and waste time arguing.
- DarmokJalad1701 6y ago> trolling, the fishing method. I am pretty sure that one is "trawling".
- rootusrootus 6y agoTrawling is with a net. E.g. commercial fishing. Trolling is traditional rod/reel/bait.
- astrea 6y agoI had the same thought, but they're both a thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing)
- Symbiote 6y agoTrolling is indeed a fishing method, but "don't feed the troll" was a common phrase on Usenet. Both meaning were probably intended.
- ericlewis 6y agoI always figured it just meant Troll as in the fairy tale creature who are notoriously not nice.

- perl4ever 6y agoPeople used to speak of Saabs being from Trollhättan like they do of Porsches being from Stuttgart. I guess Swedes have trolls too? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Saab_trolls.jpg/195px-Saab_trolls.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Sa...
