Trying to figure out what 'glazing' meant online took me a solid hour

Kept seeing people say they were 'glazing' someone in comments, and I was totally lost. I thought it was some new makeup thing at first. I went down a rabbit hole on different social apps trying to find the context. Finally found a video where a guy explained it means giving too much praise, like you're putting a glossy coat on them. It's basically a new way to call someone a suck-up. The whole time I was just scrolling and getting more confused. Has anyone else run into a term recently that made zero sense until you found the right explainer?

Oh man, that happened to me with "bussin'" last year.

That one got me too (I thought it was about a bus). The worst part was trying to use it in a sentence and getting the look of pure pity from a teenager.

Yeah, the "look of pure pity from a teenager" is the worst part of trying to keep up. I felt that when I asked my niece what "no cap" meant and she just sighed at me. It's like a whole new language pops up every month.
