Teens are using the slang term 'glazing' to criticize excessive praise, bias, or even basic kindness. While the term can be playful, some wonder if it signals something deeper.
Some modern cultures frown upon even the slightest and argumentative critique. As a result, any dialog now is praising. Kids are not that cynical and lying yet and don’t like this kind of hypocrisy. This behaviour is just the residue of honesty. But worry not – in a few years they will learn to keep their opinions to themselves and will wear those permanent smiles on their faces. Just like you want them to.

Whoever wrote this article is really dim.
It’s just a new term for brown nosing, which has never been seen as anything but critical and hostile.
I’m glad this term didn’t mean what I initially thought it might. I thought it was something far less innocuous.
