Glaiky is a Geordie and Northern English dialect adjective for someone who's a bit daft, scatterbrained, or acting without much thought. It's the kind of word a grandmother might deploy affectionately when a grandchild does something foolish, or a friend might toss at someone who's just made an obvious mistake. It carries more exasperated fondness than genuine insult — you're not dangerous, just a bit thick in the moment.
Don't be so glaiky — you've put your shoes on the wrong feet again.
