Un curioso false friend:
flippant \FLIP-uhnt\, adjective:
Lacking proper seriousness or respect; showing inappropriate levity; pert.
In the mid-1950s we both wrote for the same weekly, where her contributions were a good deal more serious and less flippant than mine.
--Anthony Howard and Jason Cowley, "Decline and Fall," New Statesman, March 13, 2000
The conversations had grown more adult over the years--she was less flippant, at least.
--Sylvia Brownrigg, The Metaphysical Touch
Básicamente es algo frívolo, irrespetuoso.
