flippy
Light and bouncy
Flippy describes something that flips or flaps loosely—hair that curves outward at the ends, a skirt with a hem that swings when you move: a flippy little sundress, her flippy blonde bob.
The word suggests lightness and playful movement.
In casual use, flippy can also mean erratic or unstable: The software gets flippy when you try to multitask.
