“Selfie” Is The Word Of The Year
Oxford3 University Press declared “selfie” the word of the year for 2013. “Selfie” refers to a self-taken photograph. Selfies are usually taken on a smartphone or webcam. The word was first seen in an online forum in Australia. Usage of the word became widespread in 2012. The word was chosen as Oxford’s Word of the Year because its usage
spiked4 17,000% in 2013. Social media sites, such as twitter, Instagram, and Flickr helped popularize the word. When taking a selfie, people are advised to
tilt5 their heads up slightly to avoid a double chin. Holding the camera as far away from the face as possible is also advised.
