I read somewhere that I sound clueless if I used the phrase "speed glue"
Why

You are not totally clueless because "speed glue" is the commonplace usage but only partially correct.
Because according to reliable research, while speed is indeed increased , spin is increased even more close to by 20%
So it could called spin glue.

But the ihe phrase would be spein glue > spein = speed+spin

Of course spein gluing as well as boosting are both common law illegal according to ITTF due to health hazards and also unapproved by ITTF rule 2.4.7 and regulation 3.4.2.2 of of the latest ITTF statutes 2025
