Definition
Comparative form of flimsy; more thin, fragile, weak, or lacking substance.
Etymology
From 'flimsy' (whose origin is debated but possibly from Scandinavian languages or imitative in nature) plus the comparative suffix '-er.' The word implies progressive weakness or insubstantiality.
Kelly Says
In the 1800s, 'flimsy' referred to the thin paper used by journalists and printers, and writers started using it metaphorically to mean 'insubstantial'—so arguments and excuses could be 'flimsy' just like cheap paper.
