What does PRANG mean in Scrabble?
verb
informalBritish
To crash a car, motorcycle or aircraft, usually causing minor damage; also used as a noun for such a minor crash.
British pilots in the Second World War first used prang as slang for successfully bombing a target, and the word soon broadened to cover any kind of crash or heavy impact involving a vehicle. Today drivers in Britain and Australia most often prang a car in an everyday minor collision, such as clipping a wall while parking or bumping another vehicle in traffic. The noun works just as easily as the verb, so someone can describe having a prang rather than saying they pranged the car, and both forms sound equally casual. Because prang always suggests a relatively minor accident, more serious collisions usually get a stronger, less playful word instead.
How PRANG is used
Informal, chiefly British and Australian, used for a minor vehicle crash and rarely for anything more serious.
