Wow, autocorrect screwed up the title. That should be 'Trolling' - as in internet trolls. >.<

Ah! I was thinking of tripping, as in acid tripping, which would be Bettlehead, obviously.
But with Trolls now active, I guess you'd just go back to the older form, of 'Trawling' or, failing that, just 'Fishing'. |

Tripping. Drugs are drugs, and drugs are bad, m'kay? |

Now that I think about it, it might be appropriate. The more politically correct would have something else, but in an anonymous Matrix chat room and some-one voices or shoots down an opinion belligerently and offensively, I can imagine some-one saying "Listen to him, I bet he's a trog". It goes with the stereotype of trolls being dull witted and aggressive.

I think it may be easier to just change the name of the metatype... my group kept laughing whenever the magic word was uttered.
Anyway maybe there's a non-English term that can replace it, probably something Japanese. Maybe "baker", "baking", a combo of "baka" and "bait", also drugs connotations. "Omea, the guy is baking you, shut the drek up" |

Dangerous.
If a Troll is hungry, you had beeter feed him. He might just eat you instead if you don't . . . |

Well, if you go with 'Trawling', then you get "Don't get hooked" or "Don't take the bait" and other assorted fishing things.
