Yes, I am aware that I should have written "smitten". But that is often used more in terms of love. I mean, does anyone say "YOU WERE SMITTEN" ? Smited, while completely wrong, just sounds cool.
Sabreur, I don't think its naff at all.
Maiden's latest album came out in 2003, to be precise

I think the avatar is Iron Maiden's Eddie? So if you were smitten with love and now are no longer in love, are you smote in love?
Just checking with thee... don't worry I'm still smitten  "Since when does being a patriot in America mean shutting your mouth?"

That's also one of the traditional ways of representing Papa Legba out of Santeria: death in a top hat. You may have people putting curses on you for trivializing him as your computer avatar.

"? Not necessarily. It has grown into that meaning a little bit in very recent years, but you can smite gently. I have a quotation floating round in my head, provenance unknown, which is "he smote him lightly on the shoulder". Louweasel
