Async means that the call will return immediately (it will not block). Depending on implementation you can (but you don't have to) receive a callback once the call is done.

It's useful for example when you send a log message to a logging thread or web service method and you don't care about results

Asych means that the calling code makes the call, then keeps working. Synchronous means it makes the call and waits for a reply.
