Join Us! GameSkinny Celebrates Word of the Year Award Winner: Selfie

So, so thankful that Twerk didn't take the title. Let's celebrate!

Selfie was just named Word of the Year by the Oxford Dictionaries, thanks to a 17,000% increase in it's use since last year. To celebrate, we here at GameSkinny are sharing some of our selfies.

Want to join in? Tweet us your selfie to @GameSkinny or tag us on Facebook and we'll add you to the slideshow!

Before we begin, let's all take a moment and be glad that runner up, 'twerk' failed to take the title.

...Whew. That was close. This slideshow would have been WAY more awkward.

Here goes!

GameSkinny Featured Columnist and JTP member Destrolyn.Bechgeddig shares this adorable classic Dude with Cat Selfie.

"Cat's name is Freiya. She's a rescue cat so is a little cray cray crayola, but silky soft and super-cute none the less >^.^<"
