In a freak accident today, a photographer was killed when a huge lump of cheddar landed on him. To be fair, the people who were being photographed did try to warn him. (lemmy.ca)

I am probably dumb… but explain?

They yelled "cheese!"

I'm kind of slow because I did not get this until I saw your reply.

What do people typically say "to" a photographer while having their photo taken?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I never heard of people saying "to" when having their picture taken.

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

Briely?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

okay but why would there be more than one person saying "Cheese!"

[–] Chetzemoka@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Everyone being photographed is supposed to say cheese because the shape of the word mimics a smile. Why did you think people said cheese? Lol

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Uh...I'm in my thirties, and this never occurred to me. Lol

Hahahaha, oh man that's great. You're one of today's 10,000: https://xkcd.com/1053/

[–] illi@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I just assumed some peoe freaking love cheese. Can't blame them tbh.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I'd love to see their family photos where only one person is smiling

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People don't literally say cheese. They just smile. The photographer tells them to say cheese, and the people smile.

[–] Chetzemoka@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People are supposed to literally say cheese to make them smile. Really, honestly that's why we say cheese:

I know, but nobody actually says cheese except probably 10-year-olds at summer camp. If you want a good photo taken, are you really going to say the word cheese? No you're not.

Tbf, where and when I grew up (USA, 1980s-1990s), it seems like at least 90% of people taking pictures said "ok everybody say cheese!", including school photographers/sears photographers etc. I think it was so common because they were limited takes of tangible negatives, so "say cheese!" improved the chances of getting a smiling picture

"WATCH OUT FOR THAT CHEESE!"

"Isn't the phrase 'say che-'" splat
