What does "flake" means?
I saw this sentence in a movie: "He is a total flake", but when I searched this in (or ON, or AT, idk) Internet, I saw "To be such a flake" as well, and that FLAKE means an unreliable person... But it can means "selfish" too... How do you natives use this word? And "FLAKY" has the same meaning?
Tnks :)

In the UK, we only really use it as an adjective 'flakey' and it means unreliable.
He always changes his mind, he is so flakey.

There is a useful website for modern informal or slang language in English,
www.urbandictionary.com If you go there and search this or other of odd expressions from movies you may find ehelp :)
