Troll (verb): to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content.

Trolled, trolling, trolls


Example: Cookie Monster just hilariously trolled Merriam-Webster's tweet about pocket dictionaries.

America's "most trusted dictionary" recently tweeted about the accessibility and portability of word meanings and origins by informing people on social media:

"Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants."

They're not lying.

But Cookie Monster, a true spokesperson for the people, raised a valid concern, replying:

"Me no wear pants."

Totally relatable.




Merriam-Webster, obviously impressed by the Muppet's tweet, responded with the definition of "icon":

And others on social media concurred.





Cookie Monster himself had a motivational response to his new status.

And Merriam-Webster defined this entire interaction as "the best reply we have ever received."

Thank you, Cookie Monster, for advocating for the pantsless among us! 👏👏👏

Still desperate to be liked, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's unpopular Transportation Secretary, MTV Real World: Boston party boy Sean Duffy, posted yet another attack against his far more respected predecessor Pete Buttigieg.
