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 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."
