Word of the Day: Smile

And related word of the day: Cheese. G and I were reading the book "Goodnight Gorilla", and at the part where Mrs. Zookeeper discovers the gorilla in her bed, the gorilla has what I think is the funniest smile on his face -- definitely a super cheesy grin.What was even funnier is that G was trying to imitate that smile, with his lips stretched out in a straight line, slightly parted, showing a long row of teeth. He'd make that grin, then we'd both collapse on the floor laughing. I tried to get a picture of his "gorilla smile", but no luck. But I did get some other snapshots of us laughing hysterically after he'd make his gorilla smile, and other shots of him saying "cheese."

In the UK, do people say "cheese" when they're having their photo taken, like we do in the US? And do Brits use the term "cheesy" as an adjective to describe something that's absurd, silly, or campy?

{Not the "gorilla smile," but definitely cheesy as G is saying "cheese."}

{Isn't it awesome how laughing can be so contagious?}
