  Many people use "backwhack" to mean a backslash. So it makes perfect sense that a slash would be called "whack".

    Whack whack [everything2.com]

    Hmm, this says that a backslash is a whack (or backwhack) so then what do you call a slash? I think that they are just confused.

      I first heard that from the speaker of a Microsoft (sic!) Presentation for .NET.
      
      The most funny part was the part after http, "Doublepoint-whack-whack-double-u-double-u-double-u-dot"

  I think that I've heard the 'whack' before. It does sound a little silly, but then I get really funny looks when I'm teaching a class and say 'shebang'.
  
  Another one that gets me rolling is the many ways to say WWW. Here are a few that I've heard:

  • dubya-dubya-dubya
  • triple-dub
  • dub-dub-dub
  • dubya-three

  I think the 'dub-dub-dub' has to be the funniest. Everytime someone says it I can't help but think of some old nursery rhyme about three men in a tub.

  Yeah, I used whack back when I was a Windows guy 5+ years ago. We still need a name for ::, as in "Test colon-colon More" which is too long to say.
