A model should be addressed as "Ye saucy wench" or, if the model
is male, as "Ye scurvy scum." Photographers with published work
should be addressed as "Cap'n," while photographers at your same
level of experience should be addressed as "Matey." Trolls should
be addressed using the most vile Pirate talk possible. People who
do not have cameras who claim to be experts on photography, for
example, should be addressed as "Landlubber."

Brilliant. And you are ...

You may call me Cap'n, me boy. :-)

That'll be " me bye" in aural history.

A privateer, for example, a certain Sir Francis Drake, is often
a very honorable person.

A privateer basically outfits his own warship (with money from
respectable businessmen, who back him) and gets paid by taking
enemy ships as prises. A privateer is chartered by a government.
A pirate gone leggit, if you squint a bit.

A pirate who has sold out, lad. He sails for "the man."


A spammer, matey, now, that's the ******* master of a slave ship
who kills and tortures 'cargo' and crew for sport. Arrr.

No argument there, matey. Keel haulin' is too good for 'em.

Ye land lubber! A pirate has two eyes, good as yours, maybe better. The
patch, laddy, is so that one eye is used to the dark. Makes it easier
to see when you go below decks, me boy. When you are standin' by to
repel boarders, there be no time for an eye to adjust to the dark
below, so in battle we wears a patch over one eye. When we goes below,
we flips up the patch.

We squints to see long distances in the sun.

That was then, this is now. All good pirates know from the days
when they were but wee scouts that it's wise to be prepared.
Today's pirates know that when they're attacking and trying to board
treasure laden Spanish frigates that their boarding parties will
have to fend off blazing muskets and Canons. And after being
temporarily blinded by their flashes and preflashes they'll still
have to be able to advance. That's when they flips up them patches
matey, or they pays a visit to Davy Jones. Arrrr.

Polishin' the cap'n's peg leg, was he now? I'd rather be marooned than
to tryst with some whiny cabin boy not even fit to swab me decks. An'
if he doesn't like it, that cap'n can kiss a weevil.
