'Pras' be older than the P99 forums. Seriously ancient roots.

As with all things of this nature I just assume it started with some idiot who couldn't spell "praise" correctly. Other people saw the misspelling and thought it was some cool slang because they didn't realize that it was just an idiot misspelling a word.

Then ,in a phenomenon all too common among the human race, people piled onto the bandwagon simply because others were and soon the original idiocy was ingrained in the collective consciousness of vast hordes of semi-sentient bipeds.

I am curious how this whole 'Pras' thing came to be on the forums.

One weekend back in 2013, a vast collection of OVER 9000 semi-literate internet zerglings conversing about feminine undergarments found themselves at a loss for the correct spelling of the plural of bra. After literally days of debate and study, coincidentally during the lull after the celebration of the 1 millionth "umadbro" post into the debate thread, a now forever revered zergling known only as !!1!111!one!! suffered a brief seizure (attributed to a combination of dehydration and Mountain Dew withdrawl) and unconsciously posted "pras" to the thread. The rest is history.
