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Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity.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)
Rats (declarative)
Hippity-hoppity (crack whore)
Gung-ho (adjective)
The list goes on...

Asterisky 

A blog run by a pretty awesome group of college students from around the United States who want to deliver a wide range of content to the internet from a young perspective.

Sam: "Hey did you read Asterisky today? There was a really awesome article about accounts to follow on Twitter."

Doug: "No way, man! The other day I was on Asterisky and there was a super-informative article about gas prices!"

Sam: "Sweet, yeah, I saw that. I'm thinking maybe I should apply to join the staff of Asterisky -- what do you think?"

Doug: "Go for it! I hear they have a "Join" tab on their site!"

Sam: "Cool, I will do that."

asterisk action 

An action that takes place on a forum or message board to indicate, normally in third person, that the character being controlled by the poster has done an action. These actions are placed in a set of asterisks. If in response to someone's post, that normally means that they are the direct object of that action.

Not to be confused with asterisk expression. Asterisk expressions run along the lines of: *sigh* *cough* or *sneeze* If you were to add an "s" to any of those, it would be an action.

Punching the Asterisk 

To rail on and dick down the old booty hole. To work his or her brown asterisk like a boss and rearrange that lower intestine.

She bent over to pick up the kids mess and the next think you know I’m punching the asterisk.

My Grindr hookup up wasn’t very clean but I still ended up punching the asterisk.
