There is no entry for the word "prannet" (or "prannit"). I understand this to be a variation of the word "pranny" (qv). It's featured in the song "Billericay Dicky" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads on their album "New Boots and Panties". Is this variation in common usage? It's certainly more familiar to me than "pranny". Harry Audus (talk) 01:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good. We'll add it if we can. Have you genuinely heard it in everyday use outside of the song? Is it something that might meet our WT:CFI requirements? Equinox 06:31, 27 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
For what it's worth, Urban Dictionary recognises both Prannit and Prannet, but the latter only in the context of the aforementioned Ian Dury song.Harry Audus (talk) 06:47, 27 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
