I've never heard anyone say pratt with a double T. If prat didn't mean arse, you wouldn't have the word pratfall.

 

@Shadders was probably confusing the spelling with that of the place name or surname, as in (rather ironically) Pratts Bottom (a village located 'dan sarf' London, presumably reasonably near to where @Shadders lives) and Jonathan Pratt (a minor BBC TV personality and doubtless ridiculed at school, like many a Pratt).
