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.
This term was popularized by Don Cherry on his Coaches Corner segment on Hockey Night In Canada.

"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."

Beer at a bar or party that has tragically lost it's owner. A more politically correct wounded soldier.
Jeff: Did you leave that floater on the bar?
Pete: You know I'd never do that.
Jeff: Poor guy's gonna get tossed in the pork soda bucket now.
TP: I can't watch this, I'm going sky dumping

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.
