ye have "house rules" posted as "articles o' shipboard conduct" and when yer pulled over fer speeding ye present your letter o' marque (forged of course) instead o' yer drivers license.

You use a brass ship's bell to keep track of time at your house... and you refer to the time in "bells" (i.e. "That's four bells!" clang-clang, clang-clang, clang-clang, clang-clang!)

You might be a pirate if...

You head downstairs to the basement and tell you're wife 'you're going down below.'

The only thing you can do on your backyard deck is pace back and forth and scan the horizon looking for enemy ships.

Your wife asked you to clean the bedding and you ask her if she means the mainsheet or the mizzin'.

You find yourself tying your kid's shoes with a bowline.

Conversation suddenly stops at your inlaw's dinner table when you say something totally inappropriate, then cover with, "Everybody's thinking it. I'm just saying it."

You are making love and you suddenly shout, "Get ready to board her mates. She's ready to plunder."

Your mate has heard this many times... too many times.

You might be a pirate if THIS is your Christmas tree topper.

That's got to be the best Christmas tree topper I've ever seen.

However, after being soundly beaten by an old aunt for making bat-shaped Christmas cookies one year, I try to keep it only angels and Santas round here come that time of year.

By all means, kill the whelp!

...or at least give him a good flogging. Better yet, let me do it.

When the shopkeeper shortchanges you, you shout ''ye scurvy dog'' an' reaches fer ye cutlass..

when shoppin' yer ''takin on supplies'.

when ye name is called, you ignore them till they says 'Cap'n'...

ye quotes POTC...at every available moment...

yer best friend is the parrot in the pet shop that ye've bin tryin' so hard t' get to say 'dead men tell no tales'...
