flops
Disastrous commercial releases
Flops is the plural of flop—a heavy, flopping fall or movement, or something that fails badly.
A movie that bombs at the box office is among the flops of the year.
Flip-flops are often shortened to flops: I packed my flops for the beach.
As a verb, flops is the third-person singular: He flops onto the couch after work. (All-caps FLOPS is a computing term.)
