What is the Definition of Twitter Patted?
I hear a lot about this term nowadays largely due to the increase in popularity of the social media phenomenon Twitter. We have even received a couple emails asking if we knew what Twitter Patted actually means.
Basically twitter patted or twitterpated – as it is correctly spelled – is a term to used describe ones infatuation with someone or something.
This could refer to an romantic excitement, aroused excitement or just having an feeling of excitement when in contact with the object of affection.
The urban dictionary describes this term as
“An enjoyable disorder characterized by feelings of excitement, anticipation, high hopes, recent memories of interludes, giddiness, and physical overstimulation which occur simultaneously when experiencing a new love. These feelings take over without warning, usually at odd times (such as at a check-out line), with or without the partner present, and make it difficult to concentrate on anything but romance. They interfere with work and safe driving, but should be experienced at least once in every person’s lifetime.”
Quick Note from the Past
“Twitterpated” also became popular back in the days of the Bambi craze around 1942. Evidence of Bambi’s use can be viewed in this short youtube video entitled Bambi learns about “Twitterpated”.
For users who have trouble viewing this video, the exact quote is a below.
The owl: “Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You’re walking along, minding your own business. You’re looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head’s in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you’re walking on air. And then you know what? You’re knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!”
Hope this helps a bit…

You learn something new everyday. I have never heard of the term Twitter Patted. Cute video and like your blog. You should get a Twittley.com button as you will get more traffic to your site from your articles. It is a wordpress plugin and popular social networking site.
Would the plan price be cheaper with more competition or is it just that Verizon generally has better service/signal? Would AT&T lower the plan prices to compete with Verizon? I was planning on getting in iPhone but I’m not sure if I should wait and see if Verizon gets it.
