I wonder this too - if I go somewhere with an amazing view I want a picture to remember it not whatever I was wearing on that day?

It's also a terribly sheep thing to do.

Yeah, because as we know, cameras only let you take one photo a day. In the picture or out of the picture, its one of those hard choices we all face.

well as an extension of that i do wonder, if its the line between the "i have an iphone" and "i have/had a camera that actually took -film- that had limited picture quantity"

Of course it is. That's the joy of digital photography. I'm sure there are purist photographers who see that as a negative thing; the equivalent of a thousand monkeys trying to write Shakespeare.

New words are fine, redefining words like literally because people use it wrong is ridiculous though.

I literally don't like the internet any more, not since women started using it. It has literally gone to the dogs.

It was much better when it was just porn and places to buy random shit.

I remember when there was no internet(as such). Or mobiles. World seemed to move along just fine.

Dunno why but I always associated a selfie with masturbation.
"a quick selfie" sounds more like rubbing it out then taking a photo of yourself...

Hmm - I reckon we could kill the word if we could promote that version of it :p
