Definition of «glowing»

Glowing in internet slang refers to a state of looking or feeling exceptionally attractive, radiant, or visibly happy, often to the point of being impossible to ignore. The term is frequently used in a humorous or exaggerated manner, particularly in contexts where someone is describing a sudden boost in confidence, a post-coital flush, or even the eerie, unnatural radiance of something supernatural or unsettling. It can also carry a tone of playful self-awareness, as if the speaker is acknowledging that their appearance or energy is unusually striking. The word is popular in LGBTQ+ spaces, meme culture, and among users who enjoy describing physical or emotional states with vivid, almost surreal language.
