- pengaru 3y agoKind of? he never actually used the word glowie AFAIK. 4chan is the origin.
- DANmode 3y agoPerhaps the modern/mainstream popularization.
- meindnoch 3y agoHuh? Where do you think it originates then?
- red-iron-pine 3y agoIt's from Terry. But the shortened, less overtly racist term 'Glowie' comes from 4chan and similar environs
- DANmode 3y ago"Glowing" was used as a description of government agents before Terry's "popularity"; the most common modern version is tongue-in-cheek "jokes" using the term while "outing" someone, usually someone who is asking odd, or personal questions, especially in a security or privacy community.
- AlbertoGP 3y agoAFAIK that originated with the video where he said this: NSFW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbG6u86t4bA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbG6u86t4bA Then the word “glowie” was coined in 4chan based on that, as others commented here already.
