- 1迷糊蛋;丟三落四的人(常帶點親暱,不是重罵)
A scatterbrain is a person whose thoughts will not stay in one place. They forget bags, lose keys, start three jobs and finish none — not thinking in a practical way, so things slip. The picture is that the brain's contents have been scattered, like papers in the wind. It is informal and usually , or only gently impatient, not a cruel insult. The person is a scatterbrain; the describing word is scatterbrained. You can call yourself one as a joke.
組成From scatter + brain: the thoughts are thrown about, so the mind cannot hold them still.
