Oh man, this total rando jumped into our AA hangout and totally started to RickRoll+ us!
(n) An internet prank where the victim clicks on a misleading link that directs them to the video clip for the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
The meme originated on 4chan. The prank was originally called "Duckrolling" and had the exact same type of luring technique, but instead lead to an edited picture of a duck on wheels. The first instance of "Rickrolling" occurred in May 2007 on 4chan's /v/ board, where a link claiming to be the first major trailer for "Grand Theft Auto IV" instead led to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" video clip. The prank's popularity began to soar and eventually became one of the greatest internet memes.
"That man is notorious for his "RickRoll" videos."

1. To be bamboozled into following a hyperlink to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" 80s music video on YouTube. Typically found on Internet discussion forums where the unsuspecting user clicks on the aforementioned link, cleverly disguised as something pertinent to the non-Rick-related discussion at hand.
The exact origins of this practical joke and subsequent naming are unknown but "rickrolling" first appeared early to mid May in 2007.
Son of a BITCH. This is the 70th time I've been rickrolled tonight!
