In a document I'm commenting on, I just suggested the author add "asterices" to a buffer line to denote a scene shift.

"Asterices." As in, the plural of "asterix."

Yes, the cartoon character.

grammar, funny, silly

Oh wait, I'm a grad student. I haven't interacted with the real world in *years*. Of *course* I'm out of the cultural loop.

(asterisk from (Latin) asteriscus from (Greek) asteriskos...)

Asteriskoi!
