flasher sur
to be instantly attracted to / to be struck by
Pronunciation
/fla.ʃe syʁ/
Cultural Note
This anglicism is very popular in modern French, especially among younger generations. It means to be instantly and strongly attracted to someone — like a camera flash going off. It's more casual and immediate than 'coup de foudre' and doesn't necessarily imply love, just intense attraction or infatuation.
