nat
Natural logarithm unit
Nat is informal shorthand for natural, appearing in contexts where the full word feels too formal or long.
In tabletop gaming, a nat twenty is rolling a twenty on a twenty-sided die without modifiers—the best possible result.
In computing, NAT (network address translation) allows multiple devices to share a single IP address, though this acronym is usually capitalized.
I rolled a nat one and failed spectacularly. (Capitalized Nat is a given name.)
