Translate:

trow: troll, in this case of the Internet kind, also a mischievous sprite or fairy, a supernatural being common in Scandinavian mythology.

The Scottish Word: trow with its definition and its meaning illustrated and captioned with the word used in context in the Scots language and in English.

No translation.

I’ve not done a translation because I don’t want trolls to see what is said without effort.

Also many trolls don’t think they are bad or are spreading division, misinformation, and hate. Many even think they are doing good works. The result of allowing their brains to be pretzeled so that “War is Peace” and other such twist as Orwell predicted.

Social media has harmful bubbles but what about the equally poisonous discourse in plain view that we have been acclimatised to. Newspapers on shop shelves that reach those many more not on social media.
