The Oxford English Dictionary has finally caught up with the rest of us and decided that “selfie” — the smartphone (preferably shirtless) self-portrait — is not only a real word but is nothing less than the word of the year for 2013. Before you grab your iPhone and start snapping away, take a moment to read our comprehensive self-portrait guide to save yourself from potential embarrassment. OK, now let’s take a moment to give thanks to and look at photos of some of the generous gentlemen who have helped make this historic moment possible.

As the septuagenarian journalist-talk show host noted when he posted his infamous nearly-nude selfie, “70 is the new 50.”
