Slaistery is a Scots dialect adjective with a cluster of related meanings around unctuousness, messy flattery, or the quality of soiling and defiling. It can describe a person who is obsequiously smooth-tongued and insincere, or something that is slimy and contaminating in a moral or physical sense. The word carries a strong sense of disapproval: a slaistery person is one who cannot be trusted, whose compliments leave you feeling smeared rather than praised. Archaic but expressively useful.
