Duck face is a trend of photographic pose, which is well known on profile pictures in social networks. Lips are pressed together as in a pout and often with simultaneously sucked cheeks. The pose is most often seen as an attempt to appear alluring, but also as a self-deprecating, ironic gesture making fun of the pose. It may be associated with sympathy, attractiveness, friendliness or stupidity.[1]
A 2015 study found that people posting duck face pictures are more likely to be associated with neuroticism and emotional instability.[2][3] According to a study by the online dating site OkCupid, users expressed more interest towards women whose profile pictures showed them smiling, as opposed to posing with a duck face.[4]
In animal communication studies of capuchin monkeys, the "duck face" term has been used synonymously with "protruded lip face", which the females exhibit in the proceptive phase before mating.[5][6]
OxfordDictionaries.com added "duck face" as a new word in 2014 to their list of current and modern words, but it has not been added to the Oxford English Dictionary.[7][8]
