New Word: Selfie.

“Selfie” (Pronunciation: /ˈsɛlfi/) is the top new word of 2013, according to the Oxford Dictionaries. It’s a photo you take of yourself (usually on a smartphone).




EXAMPLE:

Occasional selfies are acceptable, but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn’t necessary


Therefore, you have probably seen many examples of “selfie” online because it is not unusual these days. Moreover, people love taking pictures of themselves, especially in front of the mirror (“mirror… mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of all?”) 


I particularly have never taken a “selfie” – not even one. Have you realized people’s enthusiasm about that?


Anyway, if you did not know this ‘new word’, you have just learned something right now, right?
