In 2012, most well-established dictionaries included the word selfie. In 2021, CU Denver proposes a new term—lynxie. 

lynxie

lynx•ie 

noun 

An image that includes oneself (alone or in a group) with CU Denver’s bronze lynx statue and is taken by oneself using a camera phone, especially for the purpose of posting on social media

Get your lynxie beside the larger-than-life bronze statue of CU Denver’s mascot Milo the Canadian lynx. The Lynx is located in the courtyard between Student Commons and the Lola & Rob Salazar Student Wellness Center, across 12th Street from City Heights Residence Hall and Learning Commons.

At more than 8 feet tall, the Lynx statue makes a big impact. The proud lynx was created by Loveland-based artist Dan Ostermiller, a nationally recognized bronze sculptor who is known by many for his work Scottish Angus Cow and Calf on display outside of the Denver Art Museum.
