Extra Credit Questions

[L Verge]

This was the first time I have read/heard the term "flibbertigibbet" since my grandmother died in 1965. She used it quite a lot, and I always loved it. I've never known its source, however. Has anyone ever searched it?

P.S. Depending on whom my grandmother was describing, flibbertigibbet could define someone good and cute or someone who was a social butterfly but never accomplished a thing.
