Get the Jennifer Garner mug.Something so old your grandmas gives it a glance. Used to point out that information someone has shared is old news. Usually typed and not spoken. Often replaced in type with the acronym 'gg'.
The term comes from the song "Not Give a Fuck" by Fabolous.

Get the garnish mug.Written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
"Glander best describes the notion of lifting all inhibitions to “tinker intellectually in an undirected stochastic process aiming at capturing some idea that will enrich your corpus”. “Researching” or “thinking” smack of a top-down activity."
More on Glander by Taleb:
"It is an irony that the academy does not have a word for the process by which discovery works best—but slang does. I was trying to describe in a letter what I am currently doing: French would not let me. But argot lends itself very well... I am involved in an activity called “Glander”, more precisely “glandouiller”. It means “to idle”, though not “to be in a state of idleness” (it is an active verb). Gandouiller denotes enjoyment. The formal French word is “ne rien faire” (to do nothing), which misses on the active part —so do words that have a languishing connotation. Glander is what children without soccer moms do when they are out of school. It resembles flâner which has this perambulation part; though Glander does not have any strings attached. The Italians have farniente but it is really doing nothing. Even the Arabs do not have a verb for Glander: the construction takaslana from the Semitic root ksl denotes laziness (other words imply some inertia)."

Newton was a “glandeur”; In Dijksterhuis 2004:
George Spencer Brown has famously said about Sir Isaac Newton that “to arrive at the simplest truth, as Newton knew and practiced, requires years of contemplation. Not activity. Not reasoning. Not calculating. Not busy behavior of any kind. Not reading. Not talking. Not making an effort. Not thinking. Simply bearing in mind what it is that one needs to know.”
I Glander whenever I am bored and I come up with formulate groundbreaking ideas. Some of them are even viable for monetization!

Get the Glander mug.Dude, I thought my best friend was coming on to me, then he fucked my girlfriend. Dammit, I wish he was a fucking real gay instead of one of those first glance gays.

Get the first glance gay mug.The cocksure, almost lesbian way that an effeminate heterosexual man checks out a female that he wants to mate with.
She struts into the room, but I don't know her. But w/ a lesbifying glance I just sort of look her over. We had a drink or two well maybe three. And then suddenly she starts telling me her life story.
