    I know what they all mean, but I think a lot of them are general sailors' slang rather than only prtates'.

    #7 was abolished as recently as 1970, and I think it was a great shame!

    I think I'll start using "Bilge!" as an expletive and "kiss the gunner's daughter!" as a response to insults.

    Ooh - very topical for this week. I love pirates, big kid as I am. Hopefully, I've got a few of these right.

    1. "I'll be damned" or similar.

    2. An exposed deck on the stern of a ship.

    3. Rum and water, booze generally.

    4. Means that captives will be killed rather than jailed.

    5. Confused, bewildered, drunk.

    6. Rubbish, nonsense, useless.

    7. Pour a drink (I think).

    8. Dead men can't reveal secrets. So if a pirate says this to you - run!

    9. Death - I think it was the name of a hangman.

    10. A sailor's work song.

    11. To be flogged.

    12. Expression of surprise.

    13. The bottom of the sea.

    Thanks for a great, fun topic!

    I only think I know a couple of these.

    8. I think this is another way of saying, "you're a dead man".

    13. The bottom of the sea.

    That's it for my pirate-speak knowledge.

    Happy TT!

    Arrr, me linkt t' yer from 13 PETA Poses, Excerpt: PETA is a detestable, wacko organization, but I love those who protest for PETA by going fur-less. Is there a better way to protest?

    Herewith, for your viewing pleasure are 13 images of protesters who have bared it all in their effort to convince you to stop wearing fur, eating meat or fish, and torturing animals.

    Well I'll be. I guess I'm the type of person pirates rob or whatever they call it. I know nothing about pirate talk! That was fun though.
