Reverse Photo Bomb

The perfect inverse of the traditional photo bomb in which the bomber is making a face in response to something or someone in the frame. The difference is that in the Reverse Photo Bomb, the bomber takes the traditional position of the intended target of the photo bomb (usually in the foreground of the photo).

What makes the Reverse Photo Bomb so difficult is that it requires even more precise timing than just diving in the background of someone else's picture. In the RPB, a stranger is in the background of the photo, effectively "bombing" the unaware bomber. It is essential that the stranger remains completely unaware of the events.

The Reverse Photo Bomb awards a promotion to the person taking the photo, and deducts a maximum of five points off the bomber, who is the ultimate victim of the process.
Holy shit, did you check out Erin's facebook? She just posted a photo of her holding a "Giant Cock" wine bottle at Wal-Mart, and there's this fat chick in the background bending over the salami counter wearing a short skirt.

Fucking Reverse Photo Bomb! Mark it down, Erin loses 5 points and Jess gets the badge "Reverse Photo Bomb Run". Nice! Who's in the lead now?

Reverse Photo Bomb

The act of taking a front facing photo (aka... a selfie) of yourself making any sort of photo bomb face with someone completely oblivious in the background.
I totally just reverse photo bombed that family on vacation! They didn't even see me take that awful selfie with them in the background!

Photo Bombshell

A woman who looks more attractive in a photograph than she ever looks in real life. Photo=hot. Real Life=Nasty.
Man #1: "Look at Ashley's profile pic. She's pretty hot huh?"

Man #2: "That's Ashely? I just saw her yesterday and was thinking how ugly she was"

Man #1: "Really?"

Man #2: "Yeah she must be a Photo Bombshell."

Suicide Photo Bomber

A photo bomber that out of sheer stupidity, identifies themselves while photo bombing, i.e. through a direct faceshot in the picture, introducing themselves, or any other way that would identify someone, or worst of all, photo bombing without making a facial expression while giving a facial shot and identifying themselves. Suicide Photo Bombers generally have the balls to photo bomb but always forget the important part: Screw it up without screwing yourself over.
Me: Hey, Jason, see the hotties taking a picture? I'm gonna photo bomb them.
Jason: Ok, let's do this.
*i walk behind them and make a messed up face. Jason walks in front of the camera and gives a direct faceshot without a messed up face*
*At same time as he walks in front of camera* Jason: Hi, my name is Jason Jones.
Me: Fail. Way to be a Suicide Photo Bomber and reveal who the hell you are, dipshit.

Photo Bomber

A photo bomber is someone who either intentionally or unintentionally ruins an otherwise normal photo.
The "photo bomber" will be doing such things as: making faces, gestures, naked, or getting naked, in a costume, or doing some other equally hilarious action.

The photo bomber will usually work in the background of the photo. Some of the more ballsy photo bombers will go as far as being within inches behind or even next to the people in the picture , or in rare cases, run in FRONT of the photo.

The most ideal way to photo bomb is to successfully ruin their photo without letting the people know that you are forever ruining what could have been an amazing photo and memory, except you're sitting on a bench 15 yards behind them while you purposely have your cock and balls hanging out the top of your shorts while you eat an ice cream cone seductively.
Mom: Hey kids! I got the photos back from when we flew 1500 miles to Disney Land for our vacation!

Kids: Oh here's the picture of where we got to take a picture of all the Disney characters with us! This is our favorite picture ever!!!

Mom: Why is that man standing behind Goofy with his pants down and holding his penis with one hand pretending to ram Goofy in the ass with it?

And then the kids are forever traumatized. They will never see Disney character the same way again. And Disney Land will forever be tainted with visions and repressed memories that wont surface till they're in their 30's when their own kids say " I want to go to Disney Land!!!". And then you will murder you family after you go insane from repressed memories, go to prison where you will die of AIDS in your late 40's.

This would be the successful work of a "photo bomber" and/or a "photo bomb".
