Flibbertigibbet: (noun) a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person
Origin: late Middle English: probably imitative or idle chatter
(definition taken from New Oxford American Dictionary)
I first met this word during the 2012 A to Z Challenge. Just recently, we encountered each other again in Steve Hockensmith's Dawn of the Dreadfuls. I find that I really enjoy this word and could even use it to describe myself occasionally :)
