Flibbertigibbet is one of many incarnations of the Middle English word flepergebet, meaning “gossip” “scandalmongerer” or “chatterer” (others include flybbergybe, flibber de’ Jibb, and flipperty-gibbet). It is a word of onomatopoeic origin, created from sounds that were intended to represent meaningless chatter.
