It was so nice to dress up and talk like a pirate. The best part was dressing up with in the limits of my contract.
The best part of the day was walking into the bathroom and hearing
Howdy mates
Shimmy down the trousers
Open the hatches
It's time to scrub the poop deck boys

So, maties, how does we define our patois? Be it lingo, argot, or cant? Do our vernacular peculiarities require a definition beyond slang? Being pirates, from whom did we purloin the lingua franca of the high sea privateers? Beneath the Jolly Roger, do our common language be universal, even today? I has no answers, but a chestful of questions.
