We can probably all agree that TikTok is the ultimate hot spot for new slang and lingo. One of the more recent terms to pop up on the platform is glazing, which refers to hyping someone up so much that it becomes cringe. While this type of glazing doesn’t actually have anything to do with a bakery, think of it as laying compliments on thick—like glaze on a donut. Read on to learn more about glazing, how to use it, and other common terms you may come across.
Glazing Definition
To “glaze” someone means to feed them compliments that are so over-the-top that they come across as cringe-worthy or phony. While the goal is usually to win someone over with flattery, it's often unsuccessful because they can see right through it.
