TWITTERPATED

I was talking to a friend recently about falling in love, and the expression that came immediately to mind was in french, "coup de foudre". I tried to translate its meaning, but I wasn't sure that love at first sight was capturing what I meant. Lovestruck was closer, but I decided that the best translation was smitten. Then my friend offered me a word I thought I had never heard before: "twitterpated". This was explained as a spring phenomenon to Bambi in Disney's famous film. I think its a pretty cute underused verb and I thought I'd share with you!
