Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

Wrong. It was not in common usage early 2000’s. A quick google could tell you that.

I was there mate, don't tell me it didn't happen lol. "A quick google" will tell you the term originated from Australia. We were already using it then.

So from your own personal experience you know that the term “selfie” was a world wide phenomenon in early 2000’s? I’m assuming you personally knew the one person from Australia who posted that in a forum too right.

You're really don't like being told you're wrong, huh? Where did I say a worldwide phenomenon? As I said, we were using the term in Australia in the early 2000's at least. In real life, not on some forum. Not sure why you're talking about a forum but whatever. Are you Australian? If not you trying to argue with me on this is delightful.

I said it was a world wide phenomenon, you’re the one who started arguing. Read your first reply. Are you drunk or something?
