Space would the more accurate adjective you spoke of be motivated by hate and spoken to incite grief on a forum member?

TROLL - To cruise slowly across the lake with the Stihl 090 tucked under the transom, with your baited line out in the water behind you, hoping some lurking lunker bites.
IDLE - To bring yer boat into shallow water, heave the Stihl 090 overboard and let out 18 feet of dawg chain on it, cast around in the the shallow coves around the bottom, and retrieve the casts irregularly and at uncertain intervals while eating baloney and onion sandwiches and drinking PBR.
WOT - (usually with appended "the hell??!!") To fire up the Scott-Atwater, throw the dawg chain overboard, twist the handle on that outboard all the way over and speed back across the lake hoping you get to the dock before that huge Black Norther hits.

You are all wrong. Trolls live under bridges and try to eat Billy Goats Gruff.
Except in the UP, where dey eat da fudge, I tink. Yooper would have to confirm the latter.

Gregg,
Gregg,
A troll is a member of a race of fearsome creatures from Norse mythology.
Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giant, similar to the ogres of England, to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds.
SawTroll on here is from Norway.

Yep!
Trolls aren't necessarily evil here - and I didn't know about internet trolls when I chose my username.
The idea came from my wife and her brother.

It is a Norwegian Tale
I should've known. My great grandparents were from Norway and Sweden and this is the version I barely remember. It is Trip trap, not clippity cloppity.
Another violent tale that probably ruined me forever.
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
Norway
Once upon a time there were three billy goats, who were to go up to the hillside to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was "Gruff."
On the way up was a bridge over a cascading stream they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly troll , with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.
So first of all came the youngest Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.
"Trip, trap, trip, trap! " went the bridge.
"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll .
"Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, with such a small voice.
"Now, I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll.
"Oh, no! pray don't take me. I'm too little, that I am," said the billy goat. "Wait a bit till the second Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger."
"Well, be off with you," said the troll.
A little while after came the second Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.
Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap, went the bridge.
"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
"Oh, it's the second Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, who hadn't such a small voice.
"Now I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll.
"Oh, no! Don't take me. Wait a little till the big Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger."
"Very well! Be off with you," said the troll.
But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff .
Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.
"Who's that tramping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
"It's I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ," said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.
"Now I 'm coming to gobble you up," roared the troll.
Well, come along! I've got two spears,
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I've got besides two curling-stones,
And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.
That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn't fallen off them, why, they're still fat; and so,
Snip, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.
