assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh,
once upon a time, airy fairy meant 'delicate or light as a fairy'- airy fairy lilian, flitting, fairy lilian, wrote lord tennyson in 'lilian' (1830). then along came a more scornful meaning, 'impractical and foolishly idealistic'-'he had already an airy fairy knowledge of the hole affair', wrote D.H. Lawrence in the lost girl (1920)
now! you know! ^_^
bye!
