Say Cheese!

Say Cheese!

'Say cheese' is an instruction used by photographers to get their subject to shape the mouth to form a smile. Different cultures use different words that sound similar to cheese.In China, for example, it is 'Say eggplant' and in Korea, it is 'Say Kimchi'. Thais would say 'Pepsi' while French would use the word 'ouistiti' which actually means marmoset which are New World monkeys of about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) long. Personally, I have heard people saying 'Money' too and that is supposed to be the 'in' word.

I think, Hollywood stars and photographers learned to smile from chimps. I do not understand why they think this smile is nice in humans too.

Maybe, they have too because the chimps smile from the heart.
