Here in the U.S., a "flake" (disregarding pie crust and paint) is a
scatterbrained person with sometimes unpredictable behavior. By
extension, anything that works only some of the time is "flakey".
It isn't any ruder than calling then a nitwit or a dunce. When applied
to objects or software, it's a common adjective.
