["My Eyes Glaze Over", often "Mine Eyes Glazeth (sic) Over",
attributed to the futurologist Herman Kahn] Also MEGO factor.
1. n. A {handwave} intended to confuse the listener and hopefully
induce agreement because the listener does not want to admit to not
understanding what is going on. MEGO is usually directed at senior
management by engineers and contains a high proportion of {TLA}s.
2. excl. An appropriate response to MEGO tactics.
3. Among non-hackers, often refers not to behavior that causes the
eyes to glaze, but to the eye-glazing reaction itself, which may be
triggered by the mere threat of excessive technical detail as
effectively as by an actual excess of it.
