I think you have the etymology wrong, although there was (schizophrenic) racism involved in the coining of the term. The "glow" part doesn't come from the fact that they're white (or not dark), it comes from Terry Davis saying that "CIA n*'s glow in the dark" (i.e. are obviously spotted and can't hide their identities).

You think Terry David coined this term?

There may be more than one path of truth here.

Like “ helter skelter”.

To white supremacists that means “to rape and murder the innocent and lawful and dance in the streets in victory, there is nothing you can do about it!” And I’m sure a dozen of you will argue that it’s a beatnik prose for a fun time.

The world! Including the parts we ignore or pretend to do without.


Canonically, yes, he coined the term. If you know of an earlier coinage I'd be interested to hear it.

No it's not, it was just a nonsensical rant from Terry Davis that caught on. It was never very funny and felt like a forced meme at the time

It would've taken you a 30-second google search to check yourself before posting this, where you would've seen this is wildly incorrect.

The term itself has nothing to do with jews, but its a fun self-report you think jews are disproportionately federal agents, the group constantly mired in human rights controversies towards minorities and abnormal connections to pedophiliac islands as of late.

Horseshoe theory, I suppose :)

Some of us need slang dictionaries from “the street” and some of us have been in the presence of white hate telling this low down.

Don’t karma neg me because I tell you something you don’t want to hear. This stuff is a reality.


That does not change the fact that it still has nothing to do with jews.

You are simply incorrect, there's no two ways about it.

I referred to the article on urban dictionary as it's the 'only' real source for slang definitions on the internet. Obviously I knew about the term from before then, it originated from Terry Davis who's not exactly unknown on the internet.

If you'd prefer to see it used in the wild, feel free to browse the unfiltered sewage pipe that is 4chan or xitter and you'll see that yet again, the specific term "glowies" has nothing to do with jews. Maybe some people that use the term are antisemetic, but that does not change its definition.

Also, I wasn't the one that downvoted your comment.


You are over confident in your sources. There are things polite and agreeable to write, and there are things which will not be remembered openly in this way.

I can accept there are many truths, some settle over the other.

The White Devil boogieman is real, and celebrating modern cultural victories, feeding upon our self lies. This is one of their tells.


From the link you posted:

> Glower Share definition Flag

> Glower is a slang for a Federal Agent, usually used for one in disguise over the internet.

> The slang comes from a racist rant by the coder of TempleOS Terry A. Davis. "The CIA n*gg*rs glow in the dark, you can see them when you are driving. You just gotta run 'em over with your car."

Seems possible to me that somebody might use the terms interchangeably but I’m no expert on slurs. Lol at “horseshoe theory is when somebody has heard a slur”
