The term 'Glowie' was famously coined by the late Terry A. Davis, the creator of TempleOS, who used the phrase to describe federal agents he believed were 'glowing in the dark' because they were so obvious in their attempts to blend in online. 'Glowposting' eventually became a widespread internet slang term used on platforms like 4chan, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit to identify posts that seem like bait from law enforcement or provocateurs. The meme typically features neon-green aesthetics, CIA logos, or images of federal agents in tactical gear, serving as a humorous way to dismiss suspicious or inorganic online behavior.
