Get rid of the bots and glowies here and this is like 90% of fedi.
@Viss just found it in Urban Dictionary:
Glowie
Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend in to the native population's habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they "glow in the dark."
@superball @Viss @cR0w @spiegelmama the term was coined by Terry A. Davis, the developer of TempleOS. A Christian fundamentalist, bigot, and deeply unwell man. The full term is glown*****. That's the n-word.
I really don't think we should use this word, considering its background.
