Flaring is when the auto is changing up from one gear to another and the torque converter slips, allowing the engine revs to rise with no corresponding increase in acceleration. Usually the clutches in the auto are kangaroo ted (rooted)

Basically it is like having a slipping clutch in a manual gearbox. All P1ss and wind with no result.
