Fasterisking

The (often irritating) habit of swearing online but inserting asterisks in place of letters thereby trying to give the (false) impression of self-control.

"I wish they would all f*ck off", "boll*cks" and "b*gger" are all examples of fasterisking.

Sir Richard Branson and all those people will fly Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin. They do not deserve to be called astronauts because they can pay $250k to be in near earth space for 5 minutes.

“Sir Richard Branson an Astronaut? More like Asterisknaut.”
