What does SLASH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cut into something forcefully with a fast, wide stroke, usually made with a blade.
Slash usually describes a fast, forceful cutting motion rather than a careful or precise one, whether the target is fabric, skin, or vegetation. The verb also extends easily to non-physical cutting, so prices, budgets, and jobs are all commonly said to be slashed when they are reduced sharply and suddenly. As a noun, slash names both the cut itself and the diagonal punctuation mark used to separate words such as and or or. The shift from a physical cutting stroke to a sudden, drastic reduction is one of the most common extensions of the verb in everyday English.
How SLASH is used
Common verb used both literally, for cutting, and figuratively, for sudden sharp reductions in price or size.
