Flighty. Glib. Flivorous.
I assume you’re alluding to flibbertigibbets?
flibbertigibbet | ˌflɪbətɪˈdʒɪbɪt | noun
a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.
The word “gadfly” is used to describe someone who persistently challenges authority, often by repeatedly asking potentially uncomfortable or pointed questions.
I’m sure there is another word, possibly also in the form of a “[something]fly”, often used to describe a dilettante or someone who flits incessantly from topic to topic… but I can’t think of it. Can anyone help me remember what it is?
Maybe @Oliver Schick?
