What does /miscellaneous word/ mean?
Those slashes are a very old way to /indicate italics/, or emphasis.
Like emoticons, they are a way to enhance plain text so that there is a
little more meaning. I learnt about the slashes back in the Usenet
days. Other common 'text enhancers' are *this is bold* and _this is
underlined_
