Question 3

Is "prang out" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"prang out" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. Primarily British slang. 'Prang' on its own can mean a minor crash or accident (British English) and also anxiety or a bad drug experience. 'Prang out' strongly connotes drug-induced paranoia or panic but can be used more broadly for any sudden attack of anxiety. Limited to informal speech among younger British speakers.
