The word "flaky" means literally covered in flakes, like the skin of someone with dandruff. Its extended meaning refers to someone who is erratic and eccentric and generally unreliable. A derelict means literally something which is abandoned and decaying, especially a building or ship. But it is also used to refer to people who are bums, vagrants, or other homeless types, who have been abandoned by society and who are decaying.
