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."

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Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity.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.
