Google says anecdote means "a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person."
Edit: This should have been a reply to the comment from EugeneOZ saying it's not an anecdote; I replied to the wrong comment by accident.
- akuji1993 8y agoHm, I'm no native speaker. In my language, we use the same word for "stories from the past".
