Define the word microfloppies

"microfloppies" jargon "Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)"

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.
