Copy That Floppy – Cambridge guide for preserving ...
FYI; In South Africa, the 5 1/4 inch is a "floppy". The 3 1/2 inch is a "stiffy". I don't understand why this isn't so everywhere.

Colloquially it might be correct, but not technically correct. The “floppy” part never referred to the casing, but the media inside.
