The "Duck Face" meme, also called "Myspace Face", refers to a specific facial expression characterized by the puckering of lips in a manner resembling a duck's bill. This expression is commonly seen in selfies and is particularly associated with teenage girl selfies on social networks like Myspace and Facebook.
The "Duck Face" phenomenon grew with the rise of social media platforms. Initiated around the time MySpace became popular post its 2003 launch, users frequently featured this distinct expression in their profiles. The term was first officially described in an Urban Dictionary entry on May 13, 2006, credited to a user named Crohnser. The definition highlighted typical features like pouty eyes and pursed lips. Another significant Urban Dictionary entry from September 13 by user Mair Mair solidified the term "Duck Face". Additionally, cultural references can be traced back to the 1979 Little Feat album "Down on The Farm" featuring a duck with red lipstick, and the 1989 "Full House" episode featuring a character nicknamed "Duckface". The 2001 comedy film "Zoolander" also featured a similar expression to Duck Face, known as the "Blue Steel" look.
