How well do you know your Fantasy Football slang?
Sometimes, people's quest to get the perfect selfie can lead them to take stupid, possibly fatal risks. Online, people often refer to these dangerous selfies as killfies - because they have the potential to get the selfie taker killed.
For example, if an Instagrammer posts a selife they took while participating in Pamplona's famous running of the bulls, others might refer to that photo as a killfie. Or, if one of your Facebook friends posts a picture of themself standing on a volcano's rim, others might respond with "Nice killfie, how'd you even get up there?"
As death-defying selfies have become more and more popular, so has the word killfie. In some (hopefully rare) instances, you may also see users refer to a death caused by a killfie as a selficide (a portmanteau of selfie and suicide).
