I non-ironically use most of those. Over the phone whack-whack is easier to get across to someone. I also use the NATO Phonetic Alphabet so there is no misunderstanding. I also use tack. It is a specific term for a specific key.

What the gently caress is this "Wack wack" business, it's back slash! at worst I'll say left slash if someone doesn't get it. Only odd thing I ever heard was "Tracer Tee" from an interviewer though it's not a big deal away from trace route, Vooyp will never not be a silly thing to say and I don't get to mention Dial In Configuration enough.

Inspector_666 posted:I used to work with a guy who did that, where does it come from? We've got a salty former DIGITAL engineer in our office who does it, definitely seems to be a good ol' days trend. To be fair it can be awkward giving verbal paths or commands that mostly involve single syllable characters and then hitting something like "backslash" or "exclamation point" vs wack or bang. It still sounds ridiculous.

\\ as whack-whack was common at my previous employer, a fortune 50 with thousands of IT staff. Also, ! called bang and # called hash makes the #! at the beginning of a shell script the 'shebang' (pronounced sha-bang).

Tab8715 posted:It's universally standard? Who wants to say backslash or forward slash? It isn't universally standard by any means. It's very common, and seems to be more prevalent with older people (and since you work on IBM stuff a lot I'm gonna just go ahead and lump you in there), but most people I know just say slash slash, because except for web addresses or Linux/Mac file paths no one thinks you mean forwardslash when you say slash.

'whack whack' in place of 'backslash backslash' is one of the more bizarre things people in this thread have gotten upset over.
