Perhaps 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.
