Nastissist

She came on in my Inbox with the selfie phone. When she spoke she was the epitome of nastyness - she was a nastissist.

G8&G9

They have to go together: She's G8&G9 - great and gennuine.
Genuine has to be specified. Should use the ampersand and have no gaps.

Works in writing. Could work in speech, since G8 is in circulation.
I'd say she's not only G8, but also G9, great and genuine, and you don't get that G8&G9 combination too often

Twice I caught him using my results without attribution. He just laughed - a consummate playgiarist.

cronycler

A chronicler of events who tries to curry favour with all the subjects (people) he writes about.
1. How can you take his history books seriously? He's no chronicler - just a cronycler of the high-ups, he'll crony up to any such.

2. So you didn't like what I wrote about him, eh? Well, you'll just have to lump it, won't you, I'm not the chronicler you were looking for.

glass purdah

It's a continuation on the glass ceiling/glass closet idea. In eastern westernised societies men and women do come to a party together but segregate themselves in different corners upon arrival. You can see eachother but you can't cross over to meet: The glass purdah rules.
She: Bye now for a while, I've to go to my own side.
He: Look but don't cross, the glass purdah rules!
She: Looking is better than touching and thank god they don't put down a black purdah any more.

collateral benefit

Deriving intended or unintended advantage from a main-event happening.
He wrote a letter to the editor about the Vancouver June 2011 riots in which he mentioned how things were so different in 1972 when Canada beat USSR in the Summit Series and Asian-origin refugees from Uganda's Idi Amin got admitted to Canada as a collateral benefit of the euphoria. In doing this he subtly mentioned that the item had been covered in his forthcoming book on Uganda Asians, thus deriving collateral benefit for his publication.
