Get the From Amazing Grace to A Floating Opportunity mug.A person without a set group of friends or place to belong to. They drift aAround and meet new people, usually if dating someone. But if that relationship fails, they move onto the next lucky/unlucky clique. Floaters can either work alone or with a partner, but never exist as more than two people. Floaters are usually strange, creative, troubled, and/or have an offbeat sense of humor. Floaters usually don't mind being a floater, although bouts of loneliness may strike at times. A floater is usually single and plays the field.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Ilona the floater found a new group of friends.
"What group of friends do you sit with?"
"Oh I only sit with my best friend. I'm a floater."

Get the turd floater mug.A prolonged conversation of no meaning undertaken exclusively by males under the influence of large quantities of alcohol. Nothing of any value is established through such intercourse the purpose of which is purely for the entertainment of those so engaged. Although utterly hilarious to those participating in a floating cheese conversation such talk invariably leaves sober bystanders and all females wholly perplexed.
The term comes from one such meaningless conversation in which the relative bouyancy of cheese was hotly debated for many hours.
