Asterism

What is Asterism?


1.

Any one of a number of heinously outdated colloquialisms; their rhetorical power lies in their deplorable ability to frustrate or incite hilarity. Upon utterance, a speaker will likely generate the following behavioral, cerebral, or emotional responses:

1) Externalized disgust (behavioral)

2) Debilitating brain aneurisms (cerebral)

3) Crushing submission (emotional)

They should be avoided in day-to-day vernacular, and hopefully eventually removed from English nomenclature.

Various Asterisms:

Alas (conjunction)

Up a crick (prepositional phrase)

Circle the wagons (verb)

Po-dunk (adjective)

MMMMMkay (declarative)

Cotton-picking (adjective {racial})

By golly (declarative)

Gosh darn (defamatory)

Rats (declarative)

Hippity-hoppity (crack whore)

Gung-ho (adjective)

The list goes on...
