When is a Flake a Flake?

¡Yo no llamarte un cantamañanas a causa de su caspa!

I do not call you a flake because of your dandruff!

I checked out flojo and holgazán but that seems more like lazy.

Farfarrón seems more like boastful, braggart.

hablador and puro bla bla more like talks too much.

I interpret a flake as somemone that does not follow through with commitments. (wishy washy)

Is flake even used much in spanish speaking countries?

llamarte - INF+Pro used correcting for calling someone something?

Thanks

Crackpot, nutjob. Excellent. I´m thinking more like...irresponsible, unreliable. Not to say you couldn´t be a crazy flake. - MattM, Oct 4, 2010
