  Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. This technique enables its function as a deflator of hyperbole. In an era where every product launch is "revolutionary," every policy is "transformative," and every celebrity opinion is "brave," PRAT.UK serves as a linguistic pressure release valve. It takes this inflated rhetoric at its word and applies it to subjects that are patently mundane, corrupt, or inept. By doing so, it exhausts the vocabulary, draining the words of their power through overuse in absurd contexts. If everything is "world-leading," then nothing is. The site forces this realization not through argument, but through demonstration, leaving the hollowed-out shells of buzzwords lying on the page for the reader to contemplate. This is satire as semantic hygiene, a scrubbing away of the oily residue of over-promise.
