whats TROLL? seen it alot,no idea

A Troll is someone who posts something inciting or inflammatory in hopes of drawing a reaction and creating a big fuss. Often they post and do not reply, but just watch others go nuts.

As an example, here is an amusing thread from one of Thai Visas (TV) most famous trolls, erco.

I cannot believe it, you all forgot LOS Land Of Smile

I cannot believe it, you all forgot LOS Land Of Smile

That was intentional. I really, really hate that abbreviation.

I hate that LOS thing, too. Sounds like an airport code for Los Angeles, or Spanish for "the."

am at a loss to understand why??

Because nobody actually says it, or the full term in real conversation. I mean you can see "You can't buy those in Thailand AFAIK" and think "as far as I know"

But when you write "You can't buy those in LOS" it makes no sense because nobody says "You can't buy those in Land of Smiles" and it sounds even worse if you think of it phonetically.
