asterisk 

you know that weird black star symbol on your keyboard? or is it a flower? who cares. anyways, asterisks are usually used in bad words to cancel out the vowels such as “f*ck” or “sh*t”

so instead of using a bad word, why not just call someone an asterisk? they will most likely not know what you are talking about, but you will since you’re reading this post right now. when someone pisses you off, call them an asterisk. or text them one. * haha see what i did there

“god he’s such an asterisk!”

“what are you talking about?”

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."
