It means that the rings are not bedding properly.
Rings are bedded by wearing the rings against the hone of the bore. If the honing loses it's sharpness before teh rings are bedded it is said to be glazed.
Otherwise though you are correct - the pineapple glazed donut is a great example.

glazed usually means something is coated - brake dust and brake fluid or oil/grease that have leaked & combined to coat the pad/shoe, or oil on a clutch disk.
for a cylinder, its the absence of the honing/cross-hatch lines, or some say that carbon/burned oil has filled the cross-hatch and made them ineffective & useless for their intended purpose.
its impossible to be too smooth when there are metal parts rubbing against each other, except that it also needs some lubrication to be able to last a while. those little cross-hatch lines that you can see but almost not feel are what holds the lube and stops the piston & rings & cylinder from self destructing.
no, not dumb at all. if 60% of the people saying glazed, forged, billet, baclash, whatever, had a real clue about what they were talking about, i'd be surprised.
