n. a selfie taken by a fat girl. Typically, the camera is positioned looking down on the subject from above, allowing the fat chick to hide some of her neck fat, as well as block the view of her belly with her breasts. Combination of the word "selfie" and "elephant." Often used on dating sites and Facebook to decieve unsuspecting male singles.

Originated from a news story that went viral when Canadian tourist Christian LeBlanc had his GoPro snatched by an elephant in Thailand, who then snapped a selfie of himself and Mr. LeBlanc.
I thought I was gonna bag a sexy chick tonight, but turns out all her pictures on Tinder are just a bunch of elphies.

The elphies Kayla had posted to Facebook easily shaved 50 lbs off of her.

Elphies are one of the many reasons to use caution on dating sites.
