Both of these mean the same thing, except NOBODY uses the first phrase. This whole thread has left me scratching my head. Bottom line, calling someone a flake isn't an insult. There's really no other term to replace it with. Deal-backer-outer? Crappy buyer? Come on.

Scott, what was the original title, word for word?

Was it "JNOV flaked on a deal"?

If it wasn't, you're shifting the goalposts by introducing that argument here.

As for the claim that "NOBODY uses the first phrase", I'll leave it at saying that it's an unjustifiable generalisation.
