What on earth is 'gpoy' and how is it used in a sentence?

Gratuitous pictures of you/yourself.

Thank you! Though I am still confused at how I'm seeing it used in comments and such.

Darn kids. Get off my lawn :(

Seriously. What happened to a straightforward "pic spam"?

My favorite thing at that link is the related words.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
ROTFL - Rolling On The Floor Laughing
IMNSHO - In My Not So Humble Opinion
FTP - File Transfer Protocol
OTTOMH - Off The Top Of My Head

These are related by.................being chat/email acronyms, but all those have been around since a LONG-ass time before anyone was uploading any pictures of you, gratuitous or otherwise, because computers had one color.

Weirdoes.
