> I have never heard that term

Are you also from the US like the other commenter on this sub-thread?

    Italian here, and I never heard of the term either. Everybody always used the term floppy also for the 3.5 disks

    I guess that since it was a foreign word the physical connotation of the term was simply lost, and "a floppy" was just the disk that your computer used.
