pirate (n.)
1254, from O.Fr. pirate, from L. pirata "sailor, sea robber," from Gk. peirates "brigand, pirate," lit. "one who attacks," from peiran "to attack, make a hostile attempt on, try," from peira "trial, an attempt, attack," from PIE base *per- "try" (cf. L. peritus "experienced," periculum "trial, experiment, risk, danger," see peril). Meaning "one who takes another's work without permission" first recorded 1701; sense of "unlicensed radio broadcaster" is from 1913. The verb is first recorded 1574.

The cARRRRRR!!" ....and it may sound stupid, except my 75 year old grandmother plays too. And it's smurfin' awesome when you got all these people, kids through seniors going ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! at the formal dining room. XD

My old latin teacher used to associate the passive endings with pirates. She came into class oneday with an eye patch and a fake sword and shouted R!RIS!TUR!MUR!MINI!NTUR! and would make us repeat them and she would hit us with the sword if we got it wrong.

[Plasma]

God, I hate Pirates.
But they love you!

[daheadlesshero]

but in a manly pirate way.

[Meander]

I like the actual pirates. o.o Like, the historical interest of the time period... and by time period, I mean... like... all the time. Cause pirates have basically existed since ships did... Then again, I'm also one of those weirdos that goes to the Renaissance Faires cause I'm a smurfin' freak like that about history being cool. XD

GO PIRATE LOVE! D: I like Stede Bonnet- that punk was the wussiest pirate smurf head in history. XD

[Jelfish]

But they love you!

I suspect he's a ninja.

I suspect he's a ninja.

do not get me started on Ninjas.

If it was up to me, Ninjas would be even more dead than they are now.

At least 3 times more dead.
