"Dippy" appeared in the early 20th century, formed from the word "dip," which was used figuratively to suggest someone was mentally "submerged" or not fully alert. It came to describe a person who is silly, scatterbrained, or lacking good judgment. The term is used in informal speech, often teasingly or affectionately. It is mildly derogatory but generally playful rather than harsh.
