take a picture, it will last longer

  1. (informal) Said ironically to scold somebody who is staring at the speaker.
    • 2004, Steve L. Case, The Youth Worker's Big Book of Case Studies:
      Byron wasn't aware he was staring as long as he was. His manager saw him and gathered all the girls behind the counter together and had them stare at Byron. Finally she said, "Byron, take a picture; it will last longer." Byron was startled out of his daydream and the girls all laughed at him.
