Earlier this month the Oxford Dictionary officially declared the 2013 word of the year – SELFIE
Pronunciation: /ˈsɛlfi/
(also selfy)
noun (plural selfies)
informal
a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website:occasional selfies are acceptable, but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn’t necessary
In the past year the word “selfie” has risen in popularity by 17,000%! And with good reason. You can’t open any social network without seeing shot after shot of people with that tell tale extended arm and facial strain from holding the camera or phone as still as possible. How do you think profile pictures get made?
