Flitty is an adjective that appeared in early–mid 20th-century English to describe someone showing effeminate traits or mannerisms. It comes from the verb "flit," meaning to move lightly or quickly, and metaphorically emphasizes lightness, delicacy, or fluttery behavior. Historically, it was derogatory, often used to mock or belittle men who did not conform to traditional masculine norms. Today it is mostly historical and considered offensive, especially if used outside discussions of vintage slang or queer history.

Flitty is a slang term that appeared in early–mid 20th-century English to describe a gay man, especially one perceived as effeminate, delicate, or lightly mannered. The word comes from "flit," meaning to move lightly or quickly, suggesting flightiness or fluttering behavior. Historically, it was derogatory, used to mock or belittle gay men for nonconforming behavior or appearance. Today it is mostly historical, rarely recognized outside discussions of vintage gay slang, and using it in modern conversation is likely to offend.
