When it fits: Use the musical praise when the context is clear. When explaining the insulting sense, attribute the judgment and avoid repeating it as a fact about a person.
When to avoid: Avoid carrying the positive music meaning into a person-directed insult, or using the sexualized label to speculate about somebody’s private history.

Giving someone or something excessive praise; the label suggests the admiration is over the top, unwarranted or annoying.
When it fits: Recognize the complaint about excess. If you are giving criticism, point to the actual claim rather than treating any enthusiasm as automatically unreasonable.
When to avoid: Avoid assuming that every compliment is excessive or that calling something glazing disproves the opinion being expressed. The label is not an argument by itself.
“You called every scene perfect; the glazing is getting ridiculous.”
In plain English: Your excessive praise for every scene is getting ridiculous.
