you say bow and stern to describe some one,
you say aye, and you're not saying the alphabet.
You have a ship in your back yard and the sea is 1000 miles away.
the words Pilfer, Pillage, and Booty come easier to your lips then your kiddy crew's names.
You have an anchor on your car to hold it in place for the parking spots.
you have more bottles of Rum and Ale then wine and Tums.
someone says DVD pirate, and you think its cool.
you give your beloved mate cutlasses and guns instead of candies and cards for special days.
