Also, prat is a very English word, rarely used in other English speaking countries, let alone the rest of the world. Perhaps you meant to say "It's the universal name for them, throughout British motorsport"?

Okay, I'll rephrase. It's a largely universal term, used primarily in Northern hemisphere-based road racing on both two and four wheels. And as Brits have infiltrated most forms of top end motorsport, we take our phrases and terms with us and the amused (and bemused) foreign folks eventually start using them too.
