I can’t wrap my head around it. What is that?

The discussion revolves around the concept of a “Category Slug”. tobiaseigen clarifies that it has nothing to do with actual slugs, but rather is a short name for a category used in URLs (e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/c/support) and hashtag mentions. It cannot contain spaces or special characters. TheBestPessimist shares that this explanation matches their initial understanding of the term “slug”. codinghorror adds that the term “slug” originates from typesetting, referring to metal letters. The conversation takes a humorous turn when codinghorror asks about TheBestPessimist’s hat, which is revealed to have been found in a storage room and is jokingly referred to as “magical”.
actually, it has nothing to do with slugs. It’s a short name for the category that is used in various places such as the URL for direct access (e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/c/support) and hashtag mentions (e.g. Support). It can’t contain spaces or special characters.
No joke here: this is exactly what i had in my mind for the word “Slug”. (hence my question 
)
So basically category slug is a “short name” for said category which is used in the web address (so that the Support category https://meta.discourse.org/c/support can be named support but have the link https://meta.discourse.org/c/help-meh).
Yes, but this does not address the most important question: where can we get a hat like yours?
Edit: also this is a typesetting term from when type used metal letters, hence slug.
So there is this “bar” (if it can be called so). And one time I found that hat thrown on the floor in one of their storage rooms, took it and someone took some photos of me while wearing it.
Warning: the hat is magical and makes one look way prettier in pictures than reality
