Flake

A FLAKE is ONLY when a person does NOT inform the person/parties AHEAD* of time that he is unable to make the engagement. On dates, people get STOOD UP. At events, he is considered a NO-SHOW.

Later, flakes generally give lame excuses for their absence or attempt to ignore their behavior altogether.

* A flake is NOT necessarily someone who is LATE or someone who informs the party ahead of time that they are unable to make the event.

“Ya know, Bob is such a flake. He coulda (at least) called to let us know that he wasn’t gonna show up.”
