Aftervism

VERB: A form of social activism that occurs after a major political or social issue has been resolved or decisive action has been taken to bring the issue to resolution.

NOUN: 1)Marketing campaign focusing on a resolved issue or an issue in which government, independent aid organizations, and individuals have already accomplished most of what is necessary to resolve the issue.

The Kony 2012 campaign is an example of aftervism, as the United States government took action in 2010 to assist Uganda in the search for and capture of Kony and the International Criminal Court took action in 2005 to indict him for war crimes. His "reign of terror" has been over for some time, his power has been diminished, and he is on the run as a wanted war criminal being hunted by the US. The viral campaign has mostly raised awareness of an issue that has been nearly resolved, is over 20 years old, and mainly focused on selling bracelets and hanging posters. In this way the activists involved accomplish little, and have no noticeable impact on the issue beyond what has already been done.

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Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity.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

afterpiss 

the piss used to clear the penal shaft of cum or shit after sex or jerking off. a woman may use the same method after a deposit in her forward hole.

during the afterpiss I hit the toilet tank with a cum/piss mixture due to a semi and the fact it took a moment to figure the combination pressure-to-backsteps ratio needed to ark the fluid into the bowl.

aftervite 

The word "invite" inherently has a sense of inclusion. By contrast, the aftervite is done after someone who is not originally intended to be invited to an event discovers its existence and is invited out of obligation.

Dude, I totally had to give Bob an aftervite to Melissa's surprise party. He heard about it and called me to see what what up.....sorry.
