I'm a bit of a dweeb when it comes to computers. Can you tell me what a floppy disk is?

A floppy disk is a removable storage device used in the early 1980s and 1990s for storing data. It was originally invented by IBM, but later became popularized by Apple Computer with their Macintosh computer line. The floppy disk was a great advancement in technology at the time because it allowed users to store large amounts of information on a small, portable device.
