The term originated in the early 1990's, an abbreviation of the term "trolling for suckers" (trolling being an angling technique to seek fish). An [[Internet]] troll will lock their target, bait the line and spread the net to catch their goal (unwitting victim).

== Relation to conservatives ==
Conservatives are often mistaken for Trolls and vice versa, since it is a troll's job to offend as many people as possible. Such traits as racism, xenophobia, being a grammar nazi, advocating a return to the trees and calling [[Charles Darwin]] a [[satanist]].
Biologically, Trolls are a member of the [[Homo]] Granitus genus, whereas conservatives are members of the [[homo]] Gayus genus
