From Grammarist.com:
Glib describes someone who is a smooth talker, someone who speaks easily and fluently, someone who is convincing in speech. However, someone who is speaking in a glib manner is usually insincere, and is trying to convince someone that something is better or more important than it is, or is trying to perpetrate a fraud of some sort. Glib describes an eloquent speaker, but usually one who has an ulterior motive. To call someone glib is usually a minor insult, or a challenge. The word glib is derived from the German word glibberig which means slippery or slimy.
