The word twitter is even older. However, twitterpated is not in that dictionary. I am curious enough to consult the OED, but first I must do some actual work in the real world!!! I would guess that either twitterpated is an old word or it was, indeed, coined following "addlepated" Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:13:57 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/twitterpated#comments http://wordie.org/words/twitterpated#comments Wonderful! A new word for me. I think it is the juvenile form of <a href="/words/addlepated">addlepated</a>.

Anyway, this is a cute little word.
