| Slang commonly used to describe a
forward
slash. Whack (also sometimes spelled as wack) can be used to describe either a forward or
backward slash, although is commonly used to describe the forward slash
in a URL. Below is an example of how a
whack may be used when describing an Internet
address. http: <whack> <whack> www.computerhope.com
is the same as
http://www.computerhope.com
While the back slash is sometimes referred to as a whack,
it is technically correct to only refer to the forward
slash as a whack to help prevent confusion.
