Flop - fall, hang, or collapse in a heavy, loose, and ungainly way.
Jeremy was walking down the street when the rain started – it was the most unusual rain of the whole decade. First, Jeremy heard something wet and flat flopped onto the concrete of the pavement behind him. At the very moment when he began to turn around to give a thing that makes such a strange sound a curious look, something similarly flat and round caught him in the face blinding him and wrapping his head with a sticky, warm, and fragrant substance. Furiously scraping at his face, Jeremy managed to peel off this uncanny flying object. Later, although the man claimed that with his first glance he identified his attacker as an ordinary pancake, we are convinced that Jeremy – as well as everyone else who happened to be on the street at that moment – stood with his jaw hanging down and staring at pancakes falling from the skies. That is how The Rain of Pancakes had started.
After a long battle with another annoying dragon, a haggard heroine reached a threshold of her house. With the last spark of strength she opened the door with a kick (in her right hand she held an old sword and with her left hand the warrior was dragging a severed head of the dragon); spinning, two halves of the broken, torn off door disappeared into the darkness of her dwelling. Recklessly, the heroine flung the blooded sword into the kitchen door (it sunk half the way down its length into wooden boards), hurled the dragon’s head into the farthest corner when she kept her trophies, and with a heavy sigh flopped onto an armchair.
