The word that is, not the act. I guess that now that many people take self portraits on their phone to share them that a new, simple word was needed, and so the self portrait became a selfie. What will be interesting is how the meaning of the word will develop, I have already heard people asking “can you take a selfie of me?” Will the meaning of the word change to mean a portrait or will we continue to laugh?
