From "Nightclub photography: you're doing it wrong" by Jamie Zawinski, 2011-05-17, and some of the comments posted under it:

jwz:  And finally, some simple admonitions for the subjects of photos. I know some people are uncomfortable having their picture taken, and don't know what to do with themselves, but please, don't do these things. These are so common and awful that I delete all photos in which they occur:

  Stop making "duck face". Seriously, stop it. You look like an idiot.
[...]
Spoon00:  If you make a duck-face I should be allowed to hunt you.
Nils:  Not if it's wabbit season!
Adam:  DUCK SEASON!

Examples at http://antiduckface.com/ (a site I'd never heard of until I read that comment thread, but the phrase did turn out to mean what I thought it did).

That's supposed to look like a duck? Huh?

Can I get some of whatever drugs y'all are using?

HUh. When I say duck face, I think of the very sweet face that my son used to make when he was sleeping, and still enough of a baby that he was sort of dreamily nursing without actually sucking on anything. Actually, he still does it occasionally - makes me all melty.
