One of my students tripped and fell in my classroom, but started laughing right away. His friend said to me, "He does that all the time."
No one seemed hurt so I asked if it was a "pratfall". After some confusion, the dictionary was consulted and the two boys discovered that pratfall was "to fall for comedic effect."
The boy who tripped pointed to his friend, "He likes prat-talking."
