It's All About The Selfie

I prefer group selfies

Did you know the word "Selfie" is not in the dictionary? Well, it's not in the Oxford English Dictionary, not yet anyway. But it is in the Oxford Dictionaries Online. The word "selfie" was also the Word of the Year 2013 and interestingly was not in the dictionary before this.

Now according to the dictionary, a selfie is a photograph that one has taken of oneself, usually with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media site. Now, if you've got any photos of yourself still somewhere and you haven't uploaded it to site like Facebook or Twitter, it's technically not a selfie. So go ahead and upload those selfies now.

According to the leading authority for the English language, Oxford Dictionaries, the word can be credited to the Australians. The earliest mention it seems, was in 2002 in a Australian online forum.

“Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped ofer [sic] and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie.”. Referenced from http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2013/11/word-of-the-year-2013-winner/
