flappy
Moving like wings
Flappy describes something that flaps or tends to flap—loose material moving with a waving or slapping motion: flappy sleeves, flappy ears on a basset hound.
The word gained cultural currency from the mobile game Flappy Bird, where players navigate a bird through obstacles by tapping to make it flap.
The tent was flappy in the wind.
