airy-fairy

Irish Slang

A person who is not "with it"; who lives in their own dreamland; does not take life or situations too seriously; is relaxed to the point of inattentiveness; absent-minded.

Sally lost her purse again last night, she is so airy-fairy about her stuff.

Billy was doodling in class all day, and forgot to take down his homework. The next day the teacher said, "Billy, stop being so airy-fairy and listen in class, you asshole."
