What is Glazing mean in Slang?

[Callan]

I keep seeing the word glazing used as slang in comments and conversations, especially on social media. It seems to be related to praising or hyping someone up, but I’m not fully sure. Can someone explain the glazing meaning slang, its origin, and the situations where people usually use it?

Glazing in slang means-
Overly praising or hyping someone up, often in an excessive or embarrassing way.
Similar to dickriding or being a try-hard fan.
Example: Bro, stop glazing him — he’s not that good.

"Glazing" is a popular internet slang term used to describe someone who is excessively complimenting or over-praising another person, often to an annoying or cringey degree. It is similar to being a "suck-up" or "hype man" but with a negative connotation. If someone says you are "glazing," they are accusing you of being biased or overly obsessed with a celebrity or friend.
