In hockey, a floater is a player who won't go into the corners to fight for the puck. Instead, he'll just circle around in the slot waiting for his hard-working teammates to set him up, where he'll inevitably score and take all the glory.
The opposite of a floater is a grinder.

"That Gelinas, he's no floater. Look at him battle in the corner for the puck."
"The Sens never win any puck battles because they have too many floaters."

That toilet deposit that just won't flush but prefers to bask in the bathroom light floating on the surface.
Floaters have different levels according to the amount of flushes required to make them go down.
Some people give up and leave them for others to find.
It is 2nd only to an actual holy crap.

A type of crap that floats. Also one found in the pool at hotel. To deal with floater in pool you simply close down pool, put up caution tape, have manager stare at floater for a hour, then clean it out.

A basketball shot in which the ball is launched into a considerably higher arc than that of a normal shot. It is usually the weopon of smaller players (usually Guards) to score over the top of larger players. They can be taken of both feet as a normal jumpshot just pushed higher or off of one like a high launched lay up.

A mutant abomination that was the result of direct exposure to the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) in the PC game Fallout. Serpentine in appearance, its lashing tongue attack can deliver a lethal dose of poison. The exact origin of this species is unknown, but they were most likely the result of experimentation done by Richard Grey (AKA The Master, the antagonist of the story) with the FEV.
