Phrase uttered before taking a picture so it looks like everyone is smiling even though someone would rather either frown, snarl, sneer, or make an otherworldy strange or unpleasant face.
A conspiracy to get unhappy or enraged people to smile in pictures. A conspiracy to get more people to eat cheese and wine after taking pictures. Photographer: Say cheese!
Lauren, Dave, Jessica, and Ben: Cheese! *smile* Barry: Fuck you! *snarl* *flicks off camera* *click**flash* Photographer: Smile for us, Barry. We're not stopping until you smile for us! Three odd hours later: Photographer: Say cheese! Lauren, Dave, Jessica, and Ben: Cheese! *smile* Barry: Fuck you! *frown* *flicks off camera* *click**flash* Photographer: Smile for us, Barry. We're not stopping until you smile for us! Brian: Say cheese! Cristy, Ben, Mike: Cheese! Ben: That's strange; I have a strange craving to scarf down some Gorgonzola with some Bordeaux! Mike: Same here! I'm gonna gorge myself on Wensleydale 'n Chardonnay! Cristy: Let's buy all the cheese and wine we can, guys! |
