flakers
Those who bail
Flakers are people who habitually fail to follow through on commitments or plans, canceling at the last minute or simply not showing up.
The term derives from the verb flake, meaning to bail or back out unreliably.
I stopped inviting the flakers in our friend group to dinner parties.
In a different sense, flakers can refer to tools or machines used to produce flakes, whether of ice, grain, or stone in archaeological contexts.
