Word of the Day: rickroll
There are days when I just don’t get xkcd (at least until I Google).
Today was one of them.
Urban Dictionary: rickroll
To post a misleading link with a subject that promises to be exciting or interesting, e.g. “World of Starcraft in-game footage!” or “Paris Hilton blows Busta Rhymes’ dick” but actually turns out to be the video for Rick Astley’s debut single, “Never Gonna Give You Up”. A variant on the duckroll. Allegedly hilarious.
Of course, it might help to have the slightest idea who Rick Astley is in the first place….
