Pirates propably didn't 'ave ye talkin' parrots.

T'day pirate flags (a fad and the scull and crossbones) still continues t'be very good sellin' items.

A common term among Pirates is Marooning. This was used by Pirates of ye past. Marooning was done when a Pirate disobeyed "codes" or rules given by the Captain' of ye ship. The disobedient Pirate would be taken to a deserted island and left alone with nothing but a loaded pistol and jug of water. Back then the odds of survival were very slim, unless Lady Luck was gracious enough to 'ave a ship pass by and take ye Pirate aboard.
