Here are some examples of how "prat" might be used:
- "That prat forgot to bring his umbrella, and now he's soaked!"
- "Don't be such a prat, just admit you were wrong!"
- "He's such a prat, he thinks he can sing!"
The term "prat" is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, possibly from the word "pratfall," which refers to a comical fall.
