Story

Improve your vocabulary by discovering the word "flippant" through an engaging story - available in both text and audio formats.
Bernie the cat was always a flippant feline. He would saunter around the house with a nonchalant attitude, as if he owned the place. One day, while he was lounging on the windowsill, he noticed a group of birds outside chirping away. Bernie couldn't resist the temptation, so he pounced off the windowsill and darted towards the birds. With a flippant flick of his paw, he swiped at the birds, but they were too quick for him and flew away. Later that day, Bernie's owner brought home a new toy for him to play with. Bernie was initially unimpressed, but as soon as his owner left the room, he started batting the toy around with a flippant attitude. He didn't want to seem too eager in front of his owner, but secretly he was having a blast. As the days went by, Bernie's flippant behavior only grew. He would knock over glasses of water, scratch the furniture, and even steal food off the table. But despite all of his mischievous antics, his owners couldn't help but love him for his flippant charm.
