From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   virgule
  
      Rare, and ambiguous: {slash} or {comma}.
  
      "Virgule" (or rather, Latin "virgula", meaning "little rod"
      or, vividly enough, "little penis") was the name of a
      punctuation character shaped like a small {slash} and used in
      the Latin writing system much like a modern {comma} -- hence
      the ambiguity of this term in modern English.
  
      Compare French "virgule" and Italian "virgola", meaning
      "comma" (not "slash"); Italian "doppia virgola" and
      "virgoletta", both meaning "{double quote}".
