slash
Stroke through or
To slash something suggests one of two outcomes: a gaping incision (slash his throats, slash his wrists) or a sharp reduction (slash spending, slash a budget).
Slash is frequent in media headlines because of its compactness; there you can read about slashing forecasts, payroll, emissions, and such.
Cutting implements (knife, claw, sword) are often the subjects of slash.
A slash is an instance of slashing, usually with a weapon, or the cut left by one.
