Wow, I've been going on forums for some five years and I have never heard it called "display picture". That is an incredibly awkward phrase.

It's what we normally call our MSN pictures (at least over here in Malaysia)

I was confused if it was like "Deal Perfect" or something because that is normally what DP is here. I guess it's more an avatar here but dp works. I'd say that you posting it here just called attention to it so even if it was extraordinarily inappropriate more people would just see it through this thread. But no it's not really that bad, not funny in my opinion but not bad.

Actually I think there's nothing wrong with posting a pic of yourself in real life.

and i think that "avatar" is a weird phrase too because it has nothing to do with indian gods or genetically engineered hybrid bodies

Definition 4

Other dictionaries give definitions along the lines of "a visible manifestation or embodiment of an abstract concept"
A picture (or other physical representation, e.g. your character in a game) is a visible manifestation of your online identity, which is a pretty abstract concept for people who haven't met you.
