I was tossing in a pun related to sitting in a boat and going fishing while slowly motoring downstream. That is called 'trolling' and some fishing boats are equipped with 'trolling motors.' Trolling for women is another term that may not translate perfectly into German. As I recall, "sie sint eine Deutscher." Which is doubtless bad German for 'you are a German.' In some circles, it is the activity of trying to pick up women in bars, or in the grocery store: some bait is offered to attract the women. Trolling is typically very easy to spot, and most women see it when it is happening and avoid the troller like they would try to avoid The Plague. :)
Trolling is also an internet sport of posting in order to evoke a particular response, most ofter an emotional reply on some subject. That appears to be the sense that you took my reply in, however, I was engaging in a bit of a play on words.
Sorry if it did not translate very well.
Yes, you may call me Occhi, most folks do to avoid having to type long names.
