Flibertigibbit?
If you say this about ANYTHING except a hot air balloon, a smack is totally called for.
What about an elevator??
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Hey, what's a word for someone who gets easily distracted and flits from thing to thing? It's like a bird or an insect or something? It's possible I'm making it up. I know it's not magpie, and it doesn't seem to be mayfly. I want it to be an m word, apparently. Any ideas?not a bird but dilettante?

Gadflies annoy. Flibbergidget is my first choice.
That or a cracked out squirrel.

Fabulous selection of words, thank you!
I came across flibbertigibbet when I was searching around... excellent word, but, yeah, never had to spell it before. Have sung it plenty, though. (For a long time, I thought it was a made up word they put in the song because it sounded all flighty and silly.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My issue is the author of the piece is condescending and comes across like a tool.
This is often my issue. "It's not that I disagree with you on this particular subject. You're just such an ass. So please shut up."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
This is often my issue. "It's not that I disagree with you on this particular subject. You're just such an ass. So please shut up."
This can be applied to so many people in so many instances.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"It's not that I disagree with you on this particular subject. You're just such an ass. So please shut up."
I'm getting into trouble because my stance is too often "It's not that I disagree with your conclusion, but the method by which you state you arrived there is faulty. Please show your work."
That's really not popular. Who would have thought?
