A photograph of one's self taken by one's self...a self portrait, if you will. Such photos are typically taken using the camera function on a cell phone or holding a camera. Many people will resort to taking the photo using a mirror so they can see the picture they are about to take. In some instances other people will be in the photo additionally to the one taking the photo (who is also in the photo). Selfies are often taken alone and are popular across social media.

Get the Selfie mug.A humorous out-loud reminder/aside meant to indicate your future plans or a lesson you have just learned, dependent on the disparity between one's actions and one's inner thoughts. Originated with Norm McDonald's into-the-mini-cassette-recorder bits between jokes on Saturday Night Live.

The field of psychology attempts to define it with circular definitions. The truth is, we don't really know how to define self... not objectively at least.
In a few words, self is consciousness. Consciousness escapes objective description (poor example: your experience of the colour red, is it the same as mine?). If a definition requires an objective description, then self is un-definable.
