prang
British car crash
Prang is British slang for a crash or collision, especially involving a vehicle or aircraft: He pranged the car backing out of the garage.
The word originated in Royal Air Force slang during World War II.
As a noun, it's a minor accident: just a small prang, nothing serious.
The term remains casual and somewhat dated.
