Remarkably and unforgettably managed to create the image of a pirate Johnny Depp. His character turned out to be original, original and unlike anyone else. Jack Sparrow, I'm sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow has significantly expanded the list of pirate phrases. Let's take a look at some of them.

"Everyone, get out of the way! I dropped my brains …”Or, for example:“You need to beware of honest people: you won’t even notice when they throw out some stupidity. "My hands are clean! Hmm… figuratively.” Captain Jack Sparrow is a famous pirate who prefers to resolve issues mostly peacefully, using all his unique supply of eloquence and wit. This quality distinguishes him from the images of traditional pirates. He is also charming, sweet, cunning, cautious, and only gets into a fight when absolutely necessary.

Pirate slang, black mark and more

Pirates are a thing of the past, and if individual ships appear today that have declared themselves pirates, then not for long. Pirate slang has survived, acquired some comedy and innocence. Here, for example, are such funny pirate phrases.

"Full sails and dry sailing!" Here is a wish for a successful voyage, good luck and a good journey. "Captain's daughter". This phrase meant a whip with nine tails. Or such a famous quoteJack Sparrow: “You are either crazy or a genius! Although these are two extremes of the same essence! “A woman on a ship is in big trouble! If you don't take it, it will get worse!"

In addition to pirate phrases, the concept of "black mark" is used. She served as a certain business card for pirates, was also a warning sign, and passed a death sentence for her fellow pirates. It was received by those pirates who did not follow the code. Yes, everyone knows that pirates had a pirate code. It was a set of rules that every self-respecting pirate was obliged to honor.

Let's look at some more pirate phrases:

• "Throw the white flag!"
• "Hey, elbow to elbow, we'll go through a couple of casks of rum!"
• "Anchor!"
• "Shut up and let me through!"
• "Cowardly puppy. Port rat! Roll to Dave Jones!” - that is, go to the dead man who remained in hell.

It is believed that piracy is the lot of harsh men, weathered, on whose ships the black flag or the Jolly Roger fluttered, but among them were female pirates who, with their audacity, surpassed many robbers and participated in the most incredible adventures. One of these pirates was Alvilda, a Scandinavian princess.
