Microfloppies N. 3.5-inch Floppies, As Opposed To 5.

HomeFortune CookiesJargon File

microfloppies n.

3.5-inch floppies, as opposed to 5.25-inch
vanilla or mini-floppies and the now-obsolete 8-inch variety.
This term may be headed for obsolescence as 5.25-inchers pass out
of use, only to be revived if anybody floats a sub-3-inch floppy
standard. See stiffy, minifloppies.
