Floater Edit Meaning

1.

A floater is a social mastermind who wavers between members of one particular clique or between multiple cliques in general, pitting people against one another and leeching out information without seeming like a threat. A perfected floater will appear incredibly trustworthy and neutral and will play both sides, but in reality, floaters look out for themselves and do whatever possible to keep themselves alive in any given scenario.

After playing both sides, floater Janina decided to attend neither Trichelle's nor Mindy's party, so that neither clique queen would be upset with her.

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