A British regional adjective meaning foolish-looking or behaving in a silly, daft manner. It combines the beloved Northern and Scottish term "daft" (meaning stupid, silly, or crazy in a harmless way) with the "-like" suffix common in regional dialects. If something seems daftlike, it's not quite all there — a bit ridiculous, a bit ill-thought-out, a bit gormless. It's never particularly harsh; more affectionately exasperated than genuinely scathing.
