A floater is an individual who cannot pin-point what group they belong to. They walk down the halls and get nods or smiles from anyone in any group. They are normally polite and friendly but shy. A floater generally becomes a floater because of failed friendships not through fights but through "drifting" apart. Hence, the name floater. They don't like sharing their personal business so it is very rare a person will get inside and actually stick around. Floaters are known to be kind of sketchy because of this. But as previously noted, they are generally polite, friendly and due to the enormous amounts of nods, waves and gestures they get in a day, they usually have a great smile.
Bob: Hey I saw *blank* today. Jeez that guy is friends with everyone!
Ted: No, he's just a floater, we used to be friends... I don't even know what happened there...
Bob: But what a great smile.
Ted: That's for sure.

Get the Floater mug.(noun) The bacteria that can be seen and found in water of a works container than has been used many times over. This is the direct result from people taking their used rigs and redipping them into the water to clear them for yet another use. A very nasty phenomenon and one that is completely avoidable.
Robbie was one nasty mother fucker, especially when it came to slamming dope. Not only did he not care to use needles from others, usually the waters he had sitting nearby almost always had floaties in them.

Get the Floaties mug.Related Words
A shot in basketball where a smaller offensive player floats the basketball over taller defenders who swat helplessly at air attempting to block it. Also known as a teardrop or floater, the term was coined by La Salle guard Tyrone Garland, who honed the craft of this shot as a youth on the rugged streets of Southwest Philly. He ended Ole Miss's Sweet Sixteen dreams by dropping the SW Philly Floater on them for a game winner in the 2013 NCAA Basketball Tournament, making him an instant Philly hoops legend.
OH SNAP! LA SALLE JUST MADE THE SWEET 16! TY GARLAND DROPPED THE SOUTHWEST PHILLY FLOATER ON 'EM! MARSHALL HENDERSON AIN'T GOT S$*% ON US!!

Get the Horchata Float mug.The nefarious process of creating a commode-filling, toilet tissue supported, shit-flotilla in an attempt to air-expose as much fecal material as possible, thus maximizing both odor and offence for subsequent, unsuspecting patrons; frequently deployed in the bathroom facilities of restaurants with poor service, gas stations with exceedingly foul rest room hygiene and other locations deserving of passive-aggressive retribution.
