Unfortunately my insistence is to educate...every Google search one conducts will reflect the social media angle. Can't make this any more simple. Either one gets it or they don't. I have the whole internet on my side, so....out.

I was trying to make light since some here were getting bent out of shape, but I guess this isn't the forum for this. Thought most here had a good sense of humor. (Slumps in chair) :/

You might want to rethink trying to educate others.

Here was your original definition:

"Definition of 'selfie' from Oxford Dictionary:

A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.

Sending pictures of one's self & texting to someone is not, by definition, a selfie."

The dictionary in question said "typically one taken" not "always taken".

Two totally different meanings, which apparently you did not realize.

Hummm,...be careful when you quote Urban Dictionary.....there's another definition for a 'selfie', but it wouldn't be NSFQ. Here's another tongue-in-cheek definition:

'Selfie': The taking of a picture of yourself and posting it on Facebook because you have extremely low self-esteem and you need people to comment to tell you how hot or pretty you look. In reality you just look desperate for attention. And no matter how attractive you might be, you still look pathetic. See also duck face/kissy face makes you look (silly).

LOL, it "wouldn't" be NSFQ? Preeeeeetty sure you mean the opposite Smiley Very Happy It would be NSFQ or it wouldn't be SFQ...

Nope....the other Urban Dictionary definition would not be NSFQ....it refers to, er uh...a 'self pleasured act'. One who debates masterfully. Smiley Very Happy.

Selfie = self-absorbed. Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

ennui, it can indeed get to that point. I can't give specifics but a recent school event was practically ruined by "selfie mania".
