waffly
Evasively lacking commitment
Waffly describes speech or writing that rambles without getting to the point—vague, wishy-washy, full of hedging.
Common in British English: His explanation was waffly and unconvincing.
Someone being waffly avoids commitment or clarity, padding their words instead of saying something definite.
