Here's an interesting lexicon of everyday terms that either sprang from or are used in conjunction with drinking. Quite informative, and a fun read!

Some interesting words (like crapulous and tosspot). We need to get some of these into the post a word thread. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

A pirate thesaurus?

The ultimate in awesomeness. I'll have a hand in it!

Unless we're not serious here. lmfao. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
We could be... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> Serious, that is... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Heck we're supposed to be having "adult" conversations in this Tavern, so... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> Okay! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

We should build it off of those drunken slang words, I think, and spice it up with some Elizabethan (Shakespearean) era languages... Play around with some movie buzzwords like "Parrr-LAY!" (like Olé, only for PARRRRATES! ) (ooooh!)

We like to pun and have fun here, if you haven't noticed by now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Y'know, looking back at my original post, I should have christened these guys the "Tosspost Tabernacle Choir"!

HEY LOOK!

Im sure that if we actually make a Pirate Thesaurus, it'll be number one, because we would have then basically invented the Pirate Thesaurus!

I have a good name for it! De Thesaurus for De Garrreat Pyrate Language! (eh, maybe i could think of a better name...either that or maybe we should all brainstorm for a name for our Thesaurus together!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2up" border="0" alt="thumbs1.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" />

Aye, I'll go for that, Skull! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
