floppers
Exaggerate contact players
Floppers are people who flop—who fall or drop dramatically, usually to deceive.
In sports, especially basketball and soccer, floppers exaggerate or fake contact to draw fouls: The league fined several notorious floppers.
The term carries contempt for theatrical dishonesty.
