In Reply to: What is PRAT? nt posted by sser2 on October 24, 2006 at 17:37:15:
PRAT is an acronym, created by English HiFi journalists, for Pace, Rythm And Timing."A Prat" is a common English term that sort of translates into "a jerk", "a dumb ass", "a klutz" - or more closely perhaps: "a pain in the ass"!
There is, of course, no connection between these two completely different concepts...
