Selfie, Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year


The onset of social media and eager media sharing, people have started to share almost anything at all: from clothes, shoes, accessories to even a picture they take of themselves.

Thus came about the term, "selfie."

Selfie lands as the word of the year by Oxford Dictionary. 
Selfie – "a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website" {Source}
