    WTF is a slide rule pass? Its one of those silly football sayings that is rarely used - probably because most commentators and fans alike have no idea what the hell they are! (blaze)

    Now I understand why its rarely use din commentary. Probably a wager with someone as to who can try and fit it into commentary.

    If you are as old as me

    You will remember that in the days before calculators had been invented you used a slide rule to get accurate calculations

    Hence a slide rule pass is a precise and accurate one

    My first and only slide rule cost 30 shillings from WHSmith when they had a shop up Church Street.</p>

    Used it all the way through my Full Tech Cert.</p>
