Okay…does this mean that I now have to walk around with one of my parrots on my shoulder, wear a eye patch…and go “grrrrrr” as people stare my way?

COOL!!!

ARRRGH! - 'tis a fine ting ye be doing dare thar, Demo.
Tanks fer da heads up, matey!

wow, im stoked!

At first, I was sure you were refering to the Antivirus of the same name (Avast). LOL.

Now we just need to send that to Maddox to perfect his pirate routine in his comments. ;0)

Funny, some passages in the site refer to Marine Corps speak (hit the head, etc.). I would never had thought that had that in common.

Why not Dan? Marine…water…pirates…seems like a logical connection to me.

DEMODICK: Sure enough there can be a connection. Its just that I recall that Marines came a big couple of years after the original parites. Could be tradition, though, a sort of tributeto the first seafarers. Also, factor in that I am more used to thegentleman obligation and public image of Marines, but I also know they have a reputation for cussing too within the group, so theres room for the head, bunghole, etc words.

…but I also know [Marines] have a reputation for cussing too within the group…

Marines? Curse?

Perish the thought.

CHAR: Good cal. LOL

By the way, your english is more up-to-date than mine:

cuss [ kuss ]

transitive and intransitive verb (past cussed, past participle cussed, present participle cuss-ing, 3rd person present singular cuss-es)

use bad language: to use vulgar and offensive language ( informal )

noun (plural cuss-es)

  1. somebody annoying: a person or animal with a particular, usually irritating trait

  2. vulgar oath: an instance of vulgar or offensive language

[Late 18th century. Colloquial variant of curse.]</font color>

That`s what they use in their cadence songs. Tradition.

OTOH, I guess I`ll have to drop that term for a more 20th century updated version. ;p

Aye, those Devil Dogs have barnacles on their tongues, they do. Reminds me of me mother. Garrrrr!!!

Used to be a Marine meself, and - no joke, no exaggeration - some of the stuff I heard while I was in the Corps was without a doubt the absolute worst shit I have ever heard in my life.

As an example, one old Gunnery Sergeant occasionally used to try to give us advice about women. He’d generally start off by saying, “The only thing wrong with cunt is that they…”

Think about that for a minute. Not only the c-word in action, but used as a collective noun.

Scary. Reeeeeally scary.

I remember when Hearbreak Ridge first came out. It seemed the powers that be were upset that Clint cursed to much. Hilarious.

We’re going to talk the pirate lingo all day long at our gym! :wink:

Spread the word!
