Categories: Internet Slang

The internet slang term “Glowie” refers to someone who is part of an online group or community, but secretly works to gather information or report the activities of the group to authorities or others who may be against them.

Example 1:
Person A: Did you hear about that new user who joined our gaming clan?
Person B: Yeah, but I heard they might be a Glowie trying to spy on us. We should be cautious.

Example 2:
Forum post: Hey everyone, just a heads up, there’s been rumors of Glowies infiltrating this subreddit. Keep an eye out for suspicious behavior and protect your privacy.

Comment 1: It’s really getting hard to trust new members these days, we need to be more careful.
Comment 2: I agree, we should investigate anyone who seems too eager to join or asks too many personal questions.
Comment 3: I’ve encountered a potential Glowie before. They were pretending to be one of us, but their motives turned out to be shady.
