"Glaze, or to glaze someone, glazing someone, basically means to like over praise someone, over compliment someone, talk about them in a really good way, but like a lot. An example would be, oh my god Jeremiah, you've been talking about Professor Thompson for like hours, stop glazing him bro."
What it means
To glaze someone is to pile on so much praise and hype that it gets embarrassing, gassing them up way past what the moment actually deserves. Often shouted at a fan defending their favourite a bit too hard.
Usage examples
"We get it, you love the guy, stop glazing him in every comment."
"The interview was pure glaze, not one real question."
"Bro, you're glazing so hard you'd think he cured traffic."
"She's decent, relax. No need to glaze her every time she posts."

Where it comes from
From glaze, the sweet shiny coating brushed over a doughnut: to glaze a person is to slather them in a thick, sugary layer of over-the-top compliments.
