Back in the days when keypunches were on the endangered species list,
UNIX was still so new and unknown that you had to spell it for the
uninitiated to hear it correctly, and hash was something that was slung,
the following names were also used, IIRC:

/ -- kludge
* -- splat
# -- octothorpe
! -- shriek

There were a number of others as well.
