Also means
icicle
Usage Note
Glaçon is the everyday word for an ice cube dropped into a drink. It is also used for a natural icicle hanging from a roof in winter. Colloquially, calling someone un glaçon means they are cold and unfriendly — a 'cold fish'. The cedilla (ç) is essential in spelling to preserve the soft-c sound.
Examples
"Ajoute un glaçon dans mon verre."
Natural Translation
Add an ice cube to my glass.
