An ASM (attention-seeking-missile) is an intentional, and often desperate, attempt to draw attention to oneself by either interjecting a personal painful anecdote, faking a painful sound (coughing, sighing or panting), adding one's own comparable achievement or failure, or unnecessarily repeatedly bringing up past sufferings that turned into accomplishments.
While we were sitting around carefully listening to the story of Sam's accident, Georgio dropped an ASM about his accident that happened 15 years ago.
His older siblings kept watching TV and ignoring him while he kept dropping ASMs in the form of fake crying and painful screams.
We loved Umar's new house but Brian kept dropping attention-seeking-missile (ASM) by constantly talking about the rooms in his house and comparing them.
