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Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity.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

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.
