Trollish is either a language of its own, or a New Troll point of view that has not yet been fully absorbed into site glossary. English is a vast language and try to remember that Shakespeare himself only used about one fifth of modern English, and invented about one-third of the 30,000 words he did use. Language is fluid and idiosyncratic definitions are perfectly valid - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
There is always a degree of trollish discourse in any wiki. In general it is best to try to be troll-friendly and work to create some kind of troll poetry that is at least fun to read.
This is also a good way to deal with deliberately satirical articles in serious places in the name-space, with vague ad hominem statements, etc. Basically make it a game.
