Forcie

noun


A selfie that you don’t voluntarily take part in but you are “forced” by someone’s enthusiasm.

There are many reasons why somebody doesn’t want to take a photo at a certain place in a certain moment or with a certain people and put it online. The reason might be anything from a bad hair day to privacy concerns (yes, there are those who still care about it). But when somebody is a selfie enthusiast no excuse is good enough. Probably no one is concerned about the photo itself. Taking a photo is one thing, but posting it publicly is a completely other. And that is what causes the discomfort mainly. The discomfort can also be caused by the awkward pose that selfie taker asks you to make. Some people just don’t feel comfortable making duck faces.

“For you, it is a selfie, for me, it is a forcie!”

“He is a king of forcies, last time we both had to kiss him on the cheek while Katrin was twerking in his lap. It was super awkward!”

“I am not the only one who thinks this is a forcie, I saw some unhappy faces in the photo”
