Luftmenschlooft-mensh

n. Refers to someone who is a bit of a dreamer, an "air person". Your head is in the clouds and you aren't coming down anytime soon. You're living in a dream world—the 9-to-5 has no place here and paperwork doesn't exist at this altitude. So it's out with reality and in with the impractical.
