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
god he’s such an asterisk!”

“what are you talking about?”
