According to my Random House dictionary, addlepated goes back to about the year 1630. 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"

Wonderful! A new word for me. I think it is the juvenile form of addlepated.

A search on TFD yielded an ad for Thumper (Bambi's bunny friend) Massagers...really strange fusion there of things that should not fuse in terms of mental imagery. Anyway, this is a cute little word.

I've always thought that they made it up for Bambi. Does anybody know if that is the case?
