when you like drinking alcohol per se but regard a teaspoon of whisky as the right dose to draw the pleasure of drinking. The tablespoon is then at the boundary to alcoholism.
My wife and me, we are microalcoholics. It is our philosophy to enjoy whisky etc. but because alcohol with wine at lunch and dinner is accumulating through the day, we restrict to the enjoyable minimum. This gives the pleasure of nice drinks plus the good feeling of self-mastery.

Literally the opposite of "selfie":
Be photographed by another person the old fashioned way. Often (previously) asking a third person "Could you please make of photo of me/us?".
Derived from the French "autre" other resp. "autrui" others imitative to the rhyme of "selfie"

After having made some selfies, he asked a passer-by to make a real autrie.
While selfies are more intimate, an autrie is much more formal with a correct perspective.

An absurd statement of the truth content and the implied social attitude of "the earth is flat", i.e. not a sphere. It is sometimes seemingly obvious, but completely false.
The world of people's opinions is full of "flatearthisms". In the area of climate change, for example, it is the statement that the atmosphere contains far too little CO2 to warm up.
It is a flatearthism that an amethyst crystal under the pillow ensures a good night's sleep, rather the opposite.

While a selfie is a photo of oneself, an autrie is a snapshot of others.
It is derived from the French word "autre" oder "autrui", the others, and is pronounced as /otʀɥi/ or approximately outree. Just phonetically fitting to "selfie, but just the opposite social action.

My friend, you do not need to make an awesome selfie from you two, I can do an autrie .
To make a selfie is stupid, to make an autrie is social.
