flippant

/ˈflɪ.pənt/adjective

Speaking quickly and smoothly, with words coming easily.

Example sentence

“The salesman was flippant, with an answer ready for every question.”

Today the word nearly always means disrespectfully unserious: a flippant answer to a grave question. This older 'fluent' sense survives only in historical texts.
