I call this one… “The Rock”:
[i]
"A rock, if throw into a lake,
will sink right to the deepest bed.
But tie a string unto this rock,
and you will find it floats instead."

I feel that everything should now be clear.
I decided that in order to find the answer, we had to go back to the beginning. Turns out the first use of the word “float” to describe the play of a yoyo on the YYN forums was on April 3, 2006. In describing the Yoyofactory 401k Espionage:
So there we have it, the birth of floaty. The 401K Espionage must now become the yard stick for float, the scale by which all others are measured. Perhaps the reason why yyfben2 is so coy about the whole thing is that he secretly knew all along that YYF invented float… well Ben, I’m afraid the secret is out!
Float - The degree to which a yoyo plays like the Yoyofactory 401k Espionage.
