what's means promps?

Answer 1

I can't find a definition for "promps," but I can tell you that it's the title of a Mary Coughlann album on the V2 label.

"promps" is also frequent misspelling of the word "prompts."

Prompt \Prompt\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Prompted; p. pr. & vb. n. Prompting.]

1. To assist or induce the action of; to move to action; to instigate; to incite.

God first . . . prompted on the infirmities of the infant world by temporal prosperity. --Jer. Taylor.

2. To suggest; to dictate.

And whispering angles prompt her golden dreams. --Pope.

3. To remind, as an actor or an orator, of words or topics forgotten.

Answer 2

'Promps' doesn't actually mean anything. Do you mean:
(a) romps, (b) props, (c) proms or (d) prompts ?

a) 'To romp' means 'to play around vigorously' and is especially used for children. It also has a sexual sense: 'to engage in vigorous petting or foreplay'.
b) A prop is a support, like a pole, used especially in mines. In the theatre, 'props' is short for 'properties': these are objects used on the stage to add realism to the performance, like a telephone or a stuffed gorilla.
c) 'Prom' is short for 'promenade', which is area near the sea-shore set aside for people to go for walks. In the USA, I believe it is the name of the end-of-year ball or party that they have in schools and colleges. The Proms (The Promenade Concerts) are a series of concerts held every year in the Royal Albert Hall in London.
d) 'To prompt' means 'to suggest' especially words, thoughts or ideas.

prompts would be inciting something, making something happen (anger prompts violence)

props would mean like backgrounds in theater (susie backed into the props) or to give someone the proper respect due them (i give props)
