- flaky (adj.)
- 1570s, "consisting of flakes," from flake + -y (2). Meaning "eccentric, crazy" first recorded 1959, said to be American English baseball slang, but probably from earlier druggie slang flake "cocaine" (1920s). Flake (n.) "eccentric person" is a 1968 back-formation from it. Related: Flakiness.
The term "flake" needs explanation. It"s an insider"s word, used throughout baseball, usually as an adjective; someone is considered "flaky." It does not mean anything so crude as "crazy," but it"s well beyond "screwball" and far off to the side of "eccentric." ["New York Times," April 26, 1964]
