If you are not careful of those raw carrots they will make your teeth grow and your ears floppily.

What does `floppily' here mean?

Hi,

'Floppy' as an adjective means 'not firm' or 'not rigid' and of course 'floppily' is the adverb. In this context I assume that this is intended as a humorous remark and suggests that your ears will grow like those of a rabbit. The rabbiit's ears do not stand upright!
