Is this a subtle hint that I should shut up before somebody shoots me?

Oh well sometimes it's entertainingLook at this old definition for the verb "to troll", for instance:
dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/troll_4
Falling out of use, that definition, for some reason.

Yeah, it's an american fishing term - a corruption of "trawl".Internet trolling also originally came from that meaning as well - to "troll for newbs" on usenet by posting something that an experienced user would quickly disregard but new people would instantly react to.
People talk these days as though it's the ogre type troll rather than the american fishing type troll so I guess etymology is a bitch.

Jargon from the ancient past is fun, too.A typical cottage carder has a single large drum (the swift)
accompanied by a pair of in-feed rollers (nippers), one or more pairs
of worker and stripper rollers, a fancy, and a doffer. In-feed to the
carder is usually accomplished by hand or by conveyor belt and often
the output of the cottage carder is stored as a batt or further
processed into roving and wound into bumps with an accessory bump
winder.
