Afterism 

Thinking of a witty statement, comeback, or argument, but only after the opportunity has passed and the conversation has moved on to a new subject.
1. "Ya well at least 'I' wasn't in remedial math!"

"What?"

"Y'know, about what you said earlier..."

"Man you've got some serious afterism goin on."

2. "Hey remember that cow we saw on the road back there? Well it looked like Jessic-"

"That was like half an hour ago?"

"Ya but... nevermind."

Asterism 

Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity. Upon utterance, a speaker will likely generate the following behavioral, cerebral, or emotional responses:
1) Externalized disgust (behavioral)
2) Debilitating brain aneurisms (cerebral)
3) Crushing submission (emotional)
They should be avoided in day-to-day vernacular, and hopefully eventually removed from English nomenclature.
Various Asterisms:
Alas (conjunction)
Up a crick (prepositional phrase)
Circle the wagons (verb)
Po-dunk (adjective)
MMMMMkay (declarative)
Cotton-picking (adjective {racial})
By golly (declarative)
Gosh darn (defamatory)

The list goes on...
