Duh!

My nomination for the most irritating, annoying, and useless word of our time is "selfie".  Why are we suddenly so preoccupied with people taking photos of themselves?  They've been doing it since the invention of the camera. It's no big deal, and it certainly doesn't need to have a name, a stupid name at that.  We might as well start promoting people having cereal as "spoonies" and try to get as many celebrity spoonies as possible featured on reality shows. I can't imagine why so many people think the photo above is so amazing and newsworthy. There are probably eight million similar photos of weddings, graduations, company picnics, and reunions in America alone. None of them ever needed to have an idiotic title like "selfie".
