Legacy Sea lioning In 2014, the word "sea lioning" (also rendered "sea-lioning" or "sealioning") was coined based on a Wondermark strip, referring to a type of Internet trolling which consists of bad-faith requests for evidence, or repeated questions, in an attempt to derail a discussion or to wear down the patience of one's opponent. In the comic strip, a character expresses a dislike of sea lions, and a sea lion immediately appears, following the character around to repeatedly ask why that is.
