Dippy describes someone whose behavior or ideas seem a little foolish or absent-minded, though the word is almost always used affectionately rather than as a sharp insult.

The word suggests light-headedness rather than a lack of intelligence, and it is often applied to someone who is charmingly forgetful. Dippy has a dated, gently comic ring that keeps it out of serious or formal writing.
