Surprise! We're making ourselves look silly on social media. Again.

The selfie-snapping crowd is well aware of the controversial use of duckface — a pursing of the lips sometimes combined with a sly, droopy bedroom eye. Now that duckface's secret is out, no one wants to use it anymore, and we have to replace it with something else.

Cue the latest trend sweeping Instagram: the surprised face. It's like duckface 2.0 in that you do exactly the opposite of what you would when duckfacing.

When you do surprised face, you open your eyes wide, giving a "smize" that would rival even the likes of Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model. Then, combine that with a half-open, smiling mouth. Just pretend someone told you a really juicy secret about you boss. Are you shocked, but also immensely entertained? Exactly.

The benefits of this fake surprised face are numerous:

Opening up your eyes to the point of bugging out makes them look bigger, and less like you're in desperate need of a 2:30 p.m. nap. You can smile without making your face all wrinkly, as human faces tend to be. An open mouth actually makes your lips look fuller. Leaving your mouth open elongates your face, and makes it look slimmer.

The final secret benefit is seeming like you're constantly being followed by paparazzi — even though you have no idea how they got so close to your face — but still want to give them a cute, sultry photo. Of course, the paparazzo is just you.
