Where it comes from
Trade name. Blend of instant + telegram. By surface analysis, insta- + -gram.
proper noun
noun Instagrams
- A user's profile or account on this service. Have you seen her Instagram lately?
- A photograph or video shared on this service. I saw one of her Instagrams last week, but I haven't talked to her since then.
verb Instagrams · Instagramming · Instagrammed
- To use the social networking service Instagram. The thinking goes that if the modern audience watches TV on laptops, while Instagramming and checking emails at the same time, why would contemporary artists ignore that and insist on trapping them in a silent black box for an hour?
- To post an image or video of (something) to Instagram. Her mother cried when she answered / Said she don't know what got inside this child's mind, she planted / A box of condoms on her dresser then she Instagrammed it.
- To digitally manipulate a photograph using filter effects. To illustrate, I used B-roll of photos on the iPhone that were being “Instagrammed” (Figure 8.6) with fun filters along with screen captures of Instragram's No. 1 ranking in the iTunes App Store and the Apple website touting the iPhone 4S.
