slash

Usually in fanfiction, a pairing that is homosexual, although slash is rarely applied to yuri/lesbian pairings.

The word 'slash' comes from Star Trek fandom. The original slash pairing was Kirk/Spock, which was abbreviated K/S, and then ended up just being called 'slash' after its punctuation mark. After that, other male/male pairings (in Trek, and in other fandoms soon after) also became known as slash.

I'm a big fan of slash, but I don't really like slash of real people.
