Glossary Entry: Selfie
Quick Definition
A "selfie" is a picture of yourself. More specifically, these are usually taken via a smartphone's camera, and then posted on social media.
Whether or not taking selfies is seen as a negative trait tends to depend on the amount of selfies posted by the person in question as well as how tasteful they are.
For example, taking a few pictures of yourself while you're on vacation is unlikely to bother anyone, but taking a few dozen pictures of yourself posing in front of your grandmother during her open casket funeral will likely raise some eyebrows.
