Flibbertigibbet

Tonight my mom and I were watching a movie with the subtitles, and we saw this word. We could not stop laughing. We looked it up and it means:

flibbertigibbet \FLIB-ur-tee-jib-it\, noun:A silly, flighty, or scatterbrained person, especially a pert young woman with such qualities.

Here's a challenge, if you think you know what movie we were watching post it as a comment. Anyone who guesses correctly will get some sort of prize!

Tara got it! Good job, you will get a reward :) Anyone else want to take a shot?

Joe Versus the Volcanoe! I love that line! My high school friends and I used to quote that show all the time. I know that Tara won but I just wanted to see if I was right too. :-)

I actually haven't seen that movie Terrilyn - can it be possible that TWO playwrights have used that word? Amazing! Anyway, the one we were watching was The Sound of Music , but you still deserve a reward - I'll get something to you :)
