Read More »Grog - Techincally, it's diluted rum, although you can use the word to refer to just about any alcoholic concoction. The more grog a pirate consumes, the less he sweats the finer semantic details. Landlubber - A weak-willed ninny who doesn't have the courage needed to brave the briny deep (referring to the ocean, not the pickle jar). Jolly Roger - Pirate flag featuring a skull and crossbones. Can also be referred to as the Artful Dodger, the Angry Codger or the Internet Blogger (pronounced with a soft 'G' in this context). Johnny Depp - A sarcastic phrase for a baby-faced pirate who dresses a wee bit too fancy. Equivalent of calling someone 'pretty boy,' as in 'We better not ask Johnny Depp over there to go along on the raid -- he might rip his silk shirt!' An even more extreme version is to call someone Orlando Bloom. Keelhaul - A form of punishment. Even if you don't know what it means, the word just sounds nasty. Next time someone crosses you, get a wild look in your eyes and shout, 'I'll keelhaul ye!' Watch how fast they straighten up their act and show you some respect. Matey - A good friend, but not a spouse. Call your spouse 'matey' during a tender moment and see how quickly it spoils the mood (unless your spouse has a pirate fetish, in which case you should make sure to say this word with a leer and raise the eyebrow over the eye that isn't covered by a patch.) 'No quarter!' - This means 'We won't accept surrender!' If you mean you need change, you should say 'No dubloon!' Pillage - If used as a verb, it means to rob and loot ('We'll pillage the town!'). Used as a noun, it refers to a pirate's daily prescribed medication ('Don't take your pillage on an empty stomach or ye'll get the cramps.') Poop deck - Top deck on a large ship. If you don't have a ship, you can use this phrase to refer to the room over the garage. If you really want to make your seventh-grader giggle, use 'poop deck' and 'bunghole' in the same sentence ("Plug the bunghole before it leaks on the poop deck!").
Edward Teach (c. 1680[1] – November 22, 1718), better known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate in the Caribbean Sea during the early...

Read More »'The Puffy Shirt' - Every pirate's favorite 'Seinfeld' episode. All work on the ship comes to a halt when this episode turns up on re-runs. Salt (or Old Salt) - An experienced sailor. (If he sneezes a lot, you can call him Old Pepper, and if his hair is a ruddy red color, Old Paprika is acceptable.) Scurvy - Derogatory adjective meaning lowly or disgusting, as in 'Stand back, ye scurvy dog!' The usage derives from the name of a disease caused by Vitamin C deficiency, suggesting that pirates are fanatical about their intake of citrus fruits and lose respect for someone who falls behind. 'Shiver me timbers!'- An expression shouted at moments of surprise. The pirate equivalent of the contemporary 'Ain't that a corker!'
