the.com/selfie
a portrait where the photographer, the subject, and the critic are the same exhausted person
means A photograph you take of yourself, usually with a smartphone held at arm's length and typically shared online.
from Pure 21st-century internet slang, born of Australian habit: the earliest known use is from a 2002 online forum post by an Australian man describing a drunken lip injury, complete with the apologetic "sorry about the focus, it was a selfie." Australians love the -ie diminutive (barbie, brekkie, mozzie), so "self" plus -ie was a natural fit. The word stayed niche until the smartphone-and-front-camera era handed everyone a mirror, and by 2013 it had spread far enough that Oxford Dictionaries crowned it word of the year.
