oh internet

Duckface is the common term for a hideous facial expression, popularly used in self-taken photographs, in which the lips are pursed and flattened, usually accompanied by widened eyes which rarely look directly at the camera. It is mainly used by the subject to show how cute and "random" they are.

Summary

Duckface is an internet phenomenon which has found its place as an alternative to the fat girl angle shot technique of self portrait. It is favoured by teenage girls and those who wish to present themselves as fun loving, ditzy people.

The duckface can often be seen alongside basic photo manipulation techniques, such as the use of high contrast and blur functions to considerably improve the appearance of the subject, as well as, in extreme cases, lens flare.

How to Create the "Perfect" Duckface

1. Attempt to pout.
2. Make an unattractive kissy face.
3. Make peace sign (optional).
4. For best results, go to a bathroom mirror.
5. Take picture.
6. Congrats! You're a duckface.

Origins

First seen on MySpace, the Duckface has spread across the internet at an alarming rate and can now be found on all Social Networking sites, as well as all other websites with an upload function.

Current status

Strangely, duckface continues to be a popular phenomenon amongst scenesters, cam girls and facebookers the world over. It also appears to be concentrated in the area of New Jersey in the United States.
