How about 'slash slash'?
They can just be 'slash' and 'backslash', the 'forward' is then not
required.
Of course, we haven't even got started on people who say
haitch-tee-tee-pee
when it should, of course, be
aitch-tee-tee-pee
It's aitch-tee-tee-pee-colon-slash-slash-dubble-you-dubble-you-dubble-you,
damn you all...
The phrase "the earl is haitch-tee-tee-pee-colon-forward-slash-forward-
slash-dub-dub-dub", if I were to ever hear it, would probably cause me
some sort of seizure.
Paul.
