You know you've seen it. You might even be guilty of perpetrating it. I'm talking about what the site Anti-duckface.com calls the "duck face," which they describe as something between a kissy face and a pout.
i looked at the site and it looks like it's just girls making "kiss" faces (yes, that's also dumb) but i don't think it's any new phenomenon that deserves a new term.
my favorite is when the girls think they look so hot doing it and in reality, they always look so stupid. It's called smile or don't smile. These are the only options you should use when
taking a photo.
Difference between a pursing of the lips and a duckface. fyi
Haha, I've only done that to be funny, not sexy! Seriously, Miley Cyrus makes that face. I can't feel sexy thinking that I'm looking the same as a 16 or 17 year old.
Oh my God, I hate that face. I see it all the time on Facebook and in pictures that I get sent for my school's yearbook. Another poster on here says she did it to be silly. The girls who're
doing it in the pictures I get sent are not trying to be funny. They're serious. There's actually a cheerleader at school who makes that face when she's at the top of her formations during
pep rallies and my best friends and I like to make fun of her for it afterwards. Seriously, it's not cute.
lol, i HATE that face... my friend and I used to laugh hysterically at friends who do that face in EVERY SINGLE PICTURE... seriously, there is one girl where there isn't a picture on her
cubicle or facebook/myspace where she isn't doing it..lol. I don't like any of those, the model grimace, the duckface, or the pursed angelina jolie lips.. yuck
There used to be this girl who would come out to the bars with my friends and I, and she would do this. We'd catch her staring at herself in the mirror behind the bartender or on the walls
and she'd be making this face while blowing kisses to herself. We'd laugh so hard.
I wouldn't be shocked in the least if I were on that site... I've got several pictures of me doing it out there in cyberworld. And for the record, it ain't serious. I know it's ridiculous and
annoying, but it's way different if someone's obviously doing it to look goofy versus someone who seriously believes that it looks sexy.
I saw the website a couple days ago and laughed and laughed. I am guilty of the face, but in my defense it was years ago and I have reformed. It reminds me of lost teenage years.
Hah! This is so great I had to tweet this. I don't know how many times I have found myself browsing through pictures on a friends profile only to find every pictures exactly the same!
I also hate the open-mouth smile face! One of my friends will re-take picture after picture just to look like she's in-the-moment and laughing, but it just ends up looking weird and always
seeing the back of her throat.

3it's definitely not sexy, and 100% lack of originality.
seriously, what's wrong with a natural, neutral expression?

4Oh my God, I know someone on that website! How sad.
5haha naomi! this site is great
6It actually makes me wonder about the history of the duckface trend... I doubt this sort of expression was as prevalent pre-myspace.
7not sexy, just really really sad.

11Yeah, I agree - I've only made that face to look like a dork - I was in a bear costume at the time so there you go. It's definitely not sexy.
12I've never heard the term "duckface" before. I think it's the perfect word!
13Hmm, we always call it gangster face. And yes, it's not sexy - it's meant to look ridiculous, lol

25I call this "emo face." I do it on occasion to take the piss out of something.
26I saw the website a couple days ago and laughed and laughed. I am guilty of the face, but in my defense it was years ago and I have reformed.
It reminds me of lost teenage years.
