It's basically what people used before USB sticks. But it was also the storage medium that software was sold on, before CD-ROMs became widespread.

Floppy is a race of robotic jackalopes, known for their floppy ears. A "Single Floppy" is a rare subset of that species where only one ear flops down due to a random mutation of their hardware.
