v.t. Canadian 1. To instruct to excess; to highlight features that are already abundantly clear; to be overly didactic. Derived from the "FoxTrax" hockey puck (colloquially also called the glow puck, smart puck, laser puck, Fox Puck, or super puck): a specialized ice hockey puck with internal electronics that allowed its position to be tracked. Designed for NHL telecasts on the Fox television network, the highlighted puck dramatically displayed a trail on-screen when the puck accelerated. In 1994, Fox won a contract to broadcast NHL games in the United States. A common complaint among uninitiated viewers was that the puck was difficult to follow visually on the ice. Thus, FoxTrax was created to remedy the problem. The glowing puck was first used during the 1996 NHL All-Star Game. It was last used during the first game of the 1998 Stanley Cup Finals. Life-long hockey fans found the phenomenon distracting and well-nigh insulting. It remains an object of derision.
"I like Downton Abbey, but they really light the puck on the societal change 'thing'. Like, I get it—there was an impassable social hierarchy."
"I think the professor showed some personal animosity in his lectures—he can totally light up the puck on the whole 'the Serbs are a warlike people' notion. Like, I get it—we need to limit immigration."
"I wanted to say to her, 'Enough already with the parabens!' She was really lighting up the puck. I mean, the puck was practically glowing, over here."

When you buy a person a gift that is actually intended for yourself. This is known as a hockey puck gift.
My dad bought his sisters a hockey puck when he was young and used it with his brand new stick he got from his parents...a perfect Hockey Puck Gift :)

Widely recognized by most in any ice hockey playing New England boarding school, the recipient of the Golden Puck Award is given to the girl who was officially the biggest puck slut named by those on the boys hockey team at the end of the year.
"Haha look at that new girl all over the hockey players, she looks like such a slut, i'll put ten bucks down on her winning the Golden Puck Award this year."

An argument that an individual will make despite the fact they don't believe the central premise of their own argument. An argument that's made just to argue.
