Twitterpated: Spring or Sprung?
Were you “twitterpated” during spring? The Disney meaning of twitterpated is to fall head-over-heels in love, which – according to this scene from the (1942) Bambi movie – happens to almost everyone in springtime.
However, Twitter has had a new meaning since 2006. So the word “twitterpated” needs to add an updated definition. Should this extra meaning be:
- Hopelessly addicted to Twitter?
- Absolutely fed up with Twitter to the point of disconnecting?
- Having difficulty expressing yourself in 140 characters or fewer? (This definition is obviously derived from the Latin word constipate, to press together.)
Or something else?
