Drabble?

I suppose everybody else knows, but what is a drabble?

There are still a few of us who grew up in the Pliocene era? (What's a Pliocene?)

A drabble is ...

A story written in exactly 100 words, according to the most common definition.
If you noticed Catherine Linda's blog the other day,

http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog-entry/7982/this-will-prob...

which started, "This will probably make me unpopular, but...I don't like drabbles!"

she was very careful to make her blog exactly one hundred words, giggle, and several of us caught it.
I think 2 commented on the fact.

One of the most difficult things to give away is kindness.
It usually comes back to you.

more ?? on what is a Drabble?

If a drabble is exactly 100 words why than in the classification listing is it be listed as ~100 words. To compound that question, if a short short story is <500 words should there be dual qualifications? Lastly, perhaps a category of Dribble for under 100 words?

Dribbling on ...

I wonder if there is a drool? as in dribble, drabble and drool.
