Just watched Family Feud today and there is a question: what do you think about a troll? And some popular answers are like they are short, ugly, live under the bridge...

so after all, what is a troll?

From Cambridge: troll (CREATURE) an imaginary, either very large or very small creature in traditional Scandinavian stories, that has magical powers and lives in mountains or caves These days, the more popular meaning of 'troll' is someone who leaves intentionally annoying message on a part of the Internet in order to get attention or cause trouble.

Hi,

Have you seen the very popular and successful movies, 'Shrek' and 'Shrek 2'? Shrek is a trol, albeit a lovable one.
