Women don't lie, have you ever been sprung over a guy or girl before? (kids, Latin)

I suppose that would put them over the top 'spun' to marry a person they end up not liking. Or some such nonsense.

Also, I don't think "sprung" is just about being sexually turned on by a person. You can see someone in a club and be very sexually attracted to them and never think about them again. I think in order to be "sprung" you have to have more than a fleeting attraction to them. You need to be nuts about them and thinking about them all the time. At least that's my definition.

Um, hence the marriage proposal.

Being sprung doesn't necessarily mean that you love him/her. I would hope you propose marriage to someone because you love that person and have decided that you two are compatible enough to share a life together. Yes, I'm sure married couples may have been sprung at some point, but not necessarily.

I'm not really sure what you're saying. All I'm getting here is that you really, really, really ^2 like someone. The umbrella reaches pretty far. Or, is being sprung something culturally specific? I'm guessing that's the case at this point.

As the slang comes from youthful hip-hoppy "yo homeboy" slang circles, it basically boils down to a strong desire to have sex with someone. This is not Shakespearian prose we're talking about here.

I think the title of the thread was a little insulting. "Women don't lie, have you ever been sprung?" As if women were constantly lying.

Seeing as we are humans who have assumably gone through puberty, I think about 99% of this forum can answer in the affirmative.

Let me know if I can clear anything else up for you.

Thanks for the translation. Now how much simpler it would have been if the OP simply asked that?

For myself...infatuated, sure. But the meaning is taken to the obsession level, I would have to say no.

Now, as far as the situation where you are constantly thinking about someone - they are always on your mind - well I think that's sort of how we all feel when we are "falling" for someone. I don't see that as being obsessive...just part of the whole love thing, really.

Well that's different than I got from the last post. Oh well...

Since I used the word sprung I must be a highschool dropout who never went to college??

Educated isn't the word, more like decrepit.

Oy vey. So funny to see how people respond to things here.

Used to be called having a "crush" on someone (way back in the last century...)
