airheaded
Lacking mental focus
Airheaded describes someone who seems scatterbrained, ditzy, or lacking in seriousness—as if their head were filled with air rather than substance.
The term is mildly dismissive rather than harsh: She's not airheaded, just easily distracted.
An airhead is the noun form for such a person.
