Superflack
"Superflack" was mentioned in William Safire's "On Language" column of March 18, 1979. It follows "superman," "superstar," and "supermodel." The first "superflack" may have been Bobby Zarem, described in the 1978 Washington Post article below.

There are "superflacks" on both coasts - Los Angeles and New York. "Superflack" is not to be confused with "superfly," a similar term of this decade.


31 October 1978, Washington Post, pg. A3:
At 42 and enormously successful, he (Bobby Zarem - ed.) is no mere superrflack in a gabardine suit peddling pap to showbiz columnists.
