floppiness
State of drooping
Floppiness is the quality of being floppy—soft, loose, and lacking rigidity.
A ragdoll has floppiness; a mannequin doesn't.
The word often describes physical objects like hats or ears, but extends to anything without firmness: the floppiness of his handshake, the floppiness of the argument.
