STIFFY


Meaning of STIFFY in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ n. ]

3.5-inch microfloppies , so called because their jackets are more rigid than those of the 5.25-inch and the (now totally obsolete) 8-inch floppy. Elsewhere this might be called a `firmy'. For some odd reason, several sources have taken the trouble to inform us that this term is widespread in South Africa.
