Opposite of “selfie”. Photograph of other people instead of one’s self.
Please stop taking so many selfies; you’re being too narcissistic. Why don’t you take some elsies instead?

A photograph of a person caught in the act of taking a selfie.
We accidentally took an elsie. In the background of our group photo you can see some girl with her cellphone in the air taking a selfie.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HUMAN OF ALL TIME! super understanding, kind, caring, hilarious, stunning, honest, loyal, relatable etc. All the stuff you look for in a best friend, she's got.

Is likely to facetime you and read a book like '5 feet apart' to you. She'll probably end up bawling her eyes out with you, because that's the type of person she is.

If you're lucky enough to meet a Elsie, KEEP HER OMG!

Usually blonde with pretty blue eyes, and will have an iconic fashion sense (stripey shirts or something)
Person 1: "dude who's that gorgeous girl over there?"
Person 2: "oh fam that's elsie, you should go talk to her, she's absolutley amazing"

Elsie is an amazing and caring young little lady. She always is nice to others especially her friends and when you’ve got to know her you always want to be like her also If you come across and Elsie you must hang onto her and never let her go because after you’ve let her go it will be almost impossible to find another one just like her she is also an amazing friend to everybody that is nice to her and that supports her in everything she does
Who is that girl over there??? She has got to be an Elsie

An Elsie is a photo taken of someone else. It's like the opposite of a selfie.
I took an elsie of this random on the Tube because I want to know where to get those shoes.
