What was the French word used for 'airhead'?


I was trying to understand the word they used, it sounded like "minette" or some such. Enjoyed the movie very much.

It could have been Mitt, an abbreviated form of minette.

The word is 'midinette' it was originally the word for an apprentice seamstress. Today it is used for girls who are a bit naive or sentimental and not too clever.
