Here’s an f-word for you, as far as I can tell not noted here or here (does that mean everyone knows it already?).
flibbertigibbet • noun • a silly, flighty, or scatterbrained person, especially a pert young woman with such qualities.
I knew that word, but I always used it in an equal-opportunities manner (often aimed at myself) rather than at “pert young women”.
Here’s another f-word I’m fond of:
flounce • noun [intrans] • move with exaggerated motions : she flounced around, playing the tart and flirting.
