Forward Slash... / ...leans forward.

Back Slash... \ ...leans back.

Or is it

Back Slash... / ...because the bottom is back.

I had it backwards for a really long time because you draw / from front to back (ie you write it in a backwards direction) I thought that was the back slash. That still feels right to me despite being wrong.

In the old days of using UNC paths a lot we found ourselves saying whack whack server name whack share name. Then forward slash was just slash.
