Being called a Troll in real life 2010-07-30 23:04:17 Reply

I don't understand how people can consider calling someone a troll a legitimate insult. It's just odd to me that I can be making fun of some guy at lunch and then they'll call me a troll. Then maybe I'll be arguing with someone on facebook and suddenly they call me a troll. Sure, it's over the internet, but I'm not hiding behind any persona. Have any of you come into a situation where someone called you a troll off the internet and how did that make you feel like the person was an idiot?

"Troll" is strictly an internet term, as far as I'm concerned.

Hearing someone use the word "troll" in real life would be as offputting for me as hearing someone say "It's over 9000" or "shoop da whoop" - both of which I have (regrettably) heard people say.

Leave the internet online, people.

I don't see how TROLL translates into real life. How?
It's like saying LOL out loud. It makes me want to punch infants and small animals.

Yeah, but I think it doesn't apply to facebook either. It's different when your name is right there.

Trolling does not carry into real life. In real life, the word is ASSHOLE

I think he's calling you that because you live under a bridge and charge tolls. Now let me through! I have to buy some milk!

That's what I said, but they still call me a troll! They just don't see how idiotic it makes them sound.

I called a girl a troll because she was starting an argument about PETA.

You better have a really good reason for "making fun" of some guy. Because I'm pretty sure it wasn't "fun" for him.

EXPLAIN, NOW!

In all seriousness though, all I know about trolls is that they are eating her, and then they are going to eat me. Fill in the blanks.

Well it was innocent fun, nobody was supposed to get hurt! Not... not like last time.

Anyway, the ones that say troll are not people I hang out with.

Just about all of my friends don't know what a "troll" is. If I called one of them a troll they would think that I was talking about a mystical creature. No internet jokes in real life for me.

Not when there are people like me who troll IRL all the time.

Or maybe then it's just a subset of applied social psychology.

I got called a troll on the internet by someone i know in real life. And then he told my friend (which was also his friend) that i was trolling on his steam account. That kid is a major dickface nerd though...

My "friends" keep saying "IMA FIRIN MA LAZER!!" all the time. It is, at the best of times, an ear-sore. Not only that, they laugh, every time.

If I ever got called a troll in real life I'd slap that bitch upside the head and in the mouth. The Internet is the Internet, and trolls are bad enough here, there is absolutely no point in bringing them to the real life. You can't even really troll in real life, unless you're crossdressing.

The word troll has been around much longer than the internet. Being called a troll in real life is usually meant as an insult to imply you are ugly.

That was probably one of the greatest things i have ever seen. I watched it like 7 times.

Anyway, I got a friend who always screams BOOM HEADSHOT. He also comes behind someone with a pencil concealed in his sleeve and yells ASSASSINATION! He is the same friend who's steam account I trolled on. I need new freinds...

Oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

Internet jokes are only funny "IRL" when you slip them in subtly and among people who are internet savvy.

A fun game is to get one friend who's internet savvy, one who isn't, and try to see how many references you can slip in without being conspicuous, then compare tallies later.

Really, it's more fun than it sounds.

and way less nerdy

I don't think I've ever been called a troll, but I'd instantly think of the internet term as opposed to the kind that live under bridges.
