A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera orcamera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking. In the Korean entertainment industry the word selca (short for "self camera") is used to describe photos taken of oneself.[1][2][3]They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer, or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies". In August 2013 the Guardian produced a film series titled Thinkfluencer[4] exploring selfie exposure in the UK.
Other shortlisted words included "twerk" - a raunchy dance move performed by Miley Cyrus - and "binge-watch" - meaning watching lots of TV.
"Schmeat", meaning a form of meat synthetically produced from biological tissue, was also a contender.
