It means saying claiming that you did something or went somewhere. Pretty much just saying that, i did this. It's kinda hard to explain but a few examples:
I went to Windells last summer /claim
I can backflip /claim

i touched katy perry's epic breasts /claim
i got accepted to med school /claim

etc etc

/ = end

Kind of like when you make image or url tags in posts the last tag looks like this [/img] because it's the end of the url.

So when people say /claim it means end of the claim.

It basically is just HTML coding because in HTML / will end the line of code.
