What's a floppy?

[mrbluecoat]

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.

Embedding Linux has the characteristic of making the single floppy highly territorial and aggressive.
