glazing

What it means

Praising someone way too much, to the point that it gets embarrassing. It comes out of gaming and sports streams, where fans would defend a favorite player past all reason. Calling someone out for glazing is a way of saying "okay, calm down."

In the wild

"Bro he missed every shot, stop glazing him."

The parent note

The word has a crude origin in some corners of the internet, but the way kids use it is almost always just about over-the-top flattery.
