Left together on ships for months or years, pirates developed their own expressions which moved into common usage: just consider sea terms such as 'don't rock the boat', or 'know the ropes', to understand the impact of pirate lingo on even today's life. The words and phrases described herein offer a healthy set of insights into word origins and pirate history alike. Pirate Dictionary is a unique and impressively informative linquistic studyl which is recommended for Language Studies reference collections, as well as simple browsing by the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the evoluation of popular English and American slang.
