Steep price reductions
Slashes is the plural of slash—diagonal strokes used in writing and typography.
The slash (/) separates alternatives and/or, marks line breaks in quoted poetry, or builds file paths and URLs.
To slash is to cut with sweeping strokes: The attacker slashed at him with a knife.
Slashing prices means cutting them drastically.
In fan fiction, slash denotes romantic or sexual pairings, originally between male characters.
