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
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

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
