What is what does it mean to glaze someone?

Glazing someone typically refers to excessive and often insincere flattery or praise. It's when someone is being overly complimentary, often to the point where it seems disingenuous or manipulative.

Here's a breakdown:

• Over-the-top Praise: The compliments are usually extravagant and don't necessarily reflect reality. See: Over-the-top%20Praise
• Insincerity: The person "glazing" might not actually believe the things they're saying. Their motives are often ulterior. See: Insincerity
• Manipulation: The purpose might be to gain favor, influence, or get something they want from the person being glazed. See: Manipulation
• Exaggeration: Truth and facts are distorted to make the person being glazed feel better or more important. See: Exaggeration

Essentially, it's about laying it on thick with the compliments, usually for selfish reasons.
