It doesn't imply any sexual feelings and is clearly an overwhelming feeling of love and fondness for another. Synonymous with "infatuated, enamored, swept off your feet, etc." I think “smitten” is a closer translation.

Twitterpated is usually linked to the word horny, which obviously mean it has a sexual meaning as well. Kilig however does not have any sexual meaning whatsoever. Kilig is too innocent of a word to be directly translated into twitterpated. I read in this one article (I forgot where, but it was online for sure) that kilig is one of those foreign words that do not have a direct English word translation.

These days, "hoity-toity" is synonymous to "uppity" or perhaps "arrogant" and "pretentious". I did look it up and it used to be defined as "<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/word/word.php?date=May-08-2010" rel="nofollow">thoughtless, giddy behavior</a>," which could be argued as a good translation for kilig. I suppose that hoity-toity's meaning eventually evolved. :) Really? That’s interesting!
