1.
(of a female) flat-chested
2.
incompetent, vacuous. The word is used in this sense particularly in the north east of England. It is said to derive from a Norse word meaning innocent or naive. An annoyingly inefficient person is often described as a 'sackless wonder'. The term is also used in the USA.
