"Selfie"
Is it a selfie if there are 4 people involved?
Selfie=photographer in picture with arbitrary else?
Apparently, was used in 2002 by a person with an injured lip.
Perhaps a selfie is only a selfie for the photographer, but a normal picture for the rest of the world.
On the vaguely similar logic, if I have a cup of tea, is it mighty?
It is incorrect to argue that it is taken with a front facing camera using a long hand or stick. The cameras of yesteryear had timers, so you could set it up to take a picture after you pose.
There is no defined word for selfie, in French. Un selfie will do. But if you are the language police, un autoportrait.
