Floppy is a great word. Think about a person being floppy. What exactly would that entail? Would they act like a fish out of water, and, perhaps more importantly, why would they be acting that way? It's an amusing image. Maybe a floppy person is someone who is really, really fat. And they kind of flop from place to place to get around. How could "floppy" be a personality trait? I suppose it could be someone who flip-flops on decisions, as in, they can't make up their mind. What do you think?
Scooting is also a fabulous word. You can scoot to get closer to something or someone. Personally, I like the word best when it's used to describe a car "scooting" closer to the main road while it's at a stop sign or coming out of a parking lot. Also, is "scooting" the term used to describe what you are doing when you ride a scooter? Do people say, "Let's go scooting" or "Let's go for a scoot"? If they don't, they should.
Now, is there anytime "floppy" and "scooting" can both be used in the same sentence? I suppose you could have a fat person riding a scooter, and the situation is not going well. For example, "That guy is trying to go scooting, but is entirely too floppy to get around with any efficiency." What examples can you think of?
