Comes from a fishing term - putting out a baited line and hoping for a bite. In other words, saying something provocative and seeing who will respond. Clever trolls manage to be humorous, but most are just stupid.

Sweatpants post is a perfect example. Someone is bored (aren't we all) so they create a very inflamatory post. The clever ones you can't be sure

Do you bother responding to a post if it has more than 100 replies?
