Red Pill: The Flakey Chick Phenomenon

The word “flake” — in the context of this article — is believed to come from a 1920s word for cocaine. Thus, someone described as “flaky” is akin to a cokehead — messed up, deranged, unstable and all over the place. In the USA, the word has currently come to be used to describe a certain kind of person, especially a female, as flakiness appears to be significantly more prevalent among the female population, hence “flaky chick” — the word “chick” being a 1950s beatnik word for a girl, plainly related to the Spanish word for young girl, “chica”.
