The Pirate Primmer: Mastering the language of swashbucklers and rogues

Think of the Primer as a reference book. It will give a word or phrase, and give it as it is used in Pirate fiction, movies, etc, and then give its definition. An excellent and interesting read. A must-have for your pirate library.

"For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

The Pirate Primer is a fun read, but it draws primarily on pop culture quotes. I recommend dictionaries like "1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose" http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/5402 and the "Canting Dictionary of 1736" http://www.fromoldbooks.org/NathanBailey-C...nscription.html .
