Note
A slang noun that takes the ordinary plural. The -s goes on the end of the whole compound, so the form is glow-ups, never glows-up, and the hyphen stays in place. The plural suits talk of many transformations at once, such as a reunion or a before-and-after feature. Like the singular, it belongs to casual speech and writing. In formal prose, transformations says the same thing safely.
