FEATURED COLLECTIONS - view my special featured lists by theme for a more expansive collection of words: The inspiration for these features come from me asking a question that I have to find answers to.
It’s an intellectual exploration and journey that leads to knowledge and to language. Features include descriptive writing that explores a topic and the history, context, etymology, literary analysis, philosophical theory and deeper understanding of meaning. A lot of research goes into the special features and they are my chance to boost the power of my writing.

The existing pirate vocabulary covers the basic words, lingo and slang you need to talk like a pirate. What you won’t get are the words you don’t know. This site seeks to uncover all the obscure & obsolete words nobody knows. So naturally, we dive right into pirate obscurity. The list is composed of very old and rare words that apply to pirating, the ships, the sea, the, nonconformity, the anarchy, and the murder, madness and mayhem. And we reveal the true nature of these savvy swashbucklers as they pillage and plunder the seven seas.
You won’t find this list anywhere else!
