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.
