what's a 'thud' and a 'troll'

[DaddyCool]

I saw this on another thread in this area and I don't get it. What are these things? I need to be informed

a troll is someone who posts to cause offence / a stir

what context was 'thud' used in?

that should be 'or stir up trouble'

I think thud is something to do with lav1 but I'm not sure...

Here is the thud .

Twig, here

twiglett, it was a lavender thread again, that why the thud i think x

that's the one! Confused the crap out of me.

Aha .. think that was a glorious JanH invention

yes it was either 'head hitting table in disbelief that here we go again' or it was 'I'm going to hit myself with a large mallet so I don't have to get on this merry-go-round again'

DaddyCool, look at some other threads from lavender, and you'll understand. This one is "good".

I understood to mean passing out with exasperation, as in many of Lav's threads or when someone says something so predicable you have no other option.

Ah, thanks for explanation Twiglett. I'd understood what it was about, more or less, but not what it meant. Very applicable.

or this one

thanks!

It is pretty amazing that a reaction to one particular poster has introduced a new internet word into our language isn't it?
