Generally speaking...a flip or flippant answer is quick and sarcastic.

His answer wasn’t flip or flippant. He spent 2 minutes of prologue before he got around to a fancy way of saying “I won’t answer that question.”

His answer was not flip, it was revealing.

"flippant - Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness"
