adj.
A contraction (ussually used verbally) of "as of now".
If something is true asof, it will eventually not be true, given time. "Asof" shows that the statement given will become obsoleted, which is marvellously useful in the age of the internet, where a conversation may span months or even years.

When used in present tense it ussually refers to the "now". It can also, when used in future or past tense, refer to a "then": "I had two cats asof".

The utility of this phrase comes because it shortens a subordinate clause (which can only be used between commas, or these very parantheses) into an adjective. This allows faster speech and faster typing (on mobile, especially).

Alternate spelling are "as of" or "as-of". "As of" is not prefered because the dosens of definitions both "as" and "of" have can lead to confusion or ambiguity, and can be misinterpreted for bad grammar or a typo. Always signify in some way that "as of" is one word (by using a hyphen, italics, quotation marks, concatenation, or any other fit method). The hyphenated spelling plays nicer with standard English, and I would recommend it if you wanted to pass this bit of slang under the radar.

The example is my own. I use "asof" to remind readers (especially from the futures) of the time context I am writing in. By using "asof" instead of as of now", I don't give undue focus on the "now" by putting it in its own clause, but retain the reader's focus solely on the subject of the sentence: the latest release.
The latest release asof is 4.4.2.

As of late 

A combination of two proper phrases, "As of today," and "Lately," meaning an event which recently happened or has been happening repeatedly. Current indifference to butchered English has made its use more popular than the correct phrases, elevating it to more innocuous than similar travesties "These ones" and "On accident."
Red Sox relief pitching has been terrible as of late.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
