Jolly Roger Pirate
first Pirate trial in Europe for 300 years, do Somali pirates fly the jolly roger when they sortie?
sounds very romantic but i bet it's not..
Pirate enterprises are organised and planned in Europe and carried out around Africa.
nope he's called black everything, why don't they try honest work and the rule of law for a change?
I'm sure they have shitty lives and not much going for them, but being honest is the first run of the ladder of prosperity
don't i don't believe that's true for a minute, with out honesty there would be no money.. trust and honesty makes the world go round, not being mean i believe that, people are basically good.
you would not survive a minute in the world if your honest come on the world is run by crooks and dishonest people who ruin peoples lives every single day of the year and they are worst than some pirates.

Most pirates didn't fly a jolly rodger at all. most flew the flag of the nation they were doing the privateering for and most were just what we would call mercenaries today.
It is interesting reading the pirates around Somolia time line they were getting away with all their little pirate jobs till a few years ago they took a ship carrying T-80 tanks and other military equipment and then the major arms manafacturing nations sent ships. Are the ships there to protect all shipping are is it to stop the media hearing again of some pirates coming across tanks and arms going to a country with 1225% inflation a shipment of arms going to a country that has people starving to death and some nations are selling them arms. that is the thing that is covered up in all this really the billions of dollars worth of arms been moved around in that area is mind boggling.

Jolly Roger Pirate King Cutlass Sword: Unsharpened $159 Dead men tell no tales! The Jolly Roger image is popularly attributed to 18th-century pirate Calico Jack Rackham. Historically, the Jolly Roger flag was flown to frighten pirates' victims into surrendering without a fight, since it conveyed the message that the buccaneers were outlaws who didn t consider themselves bound by the usual rules of engagement and might, therefore, slaughter those they defeated. Our Jolly Roger Cutlass sword boasts a hand-forged high carbon steel blade, well tempered and featuring a full tang, just like the original. The menacing cup guard is pierced through with a fearsome skull & cross-bones and the hardwood grip is hand-covered with leather and wire. The steel hilt and scabbard parts are artificially aged as if pulled from the darkest depths of Davy Jones' locker. Hand-crafted by ye famed metalsmiths at Windlass Steelcrafts. Can be professionally sharpened for an additional fee. Please note that sharpened swords cannot be returned. |

Entertainment Pirate Ship "Jolly Roger"
Any etymological relationship betw "Jolly ROGER" & 19th C. UK slang "ROGER" (v tr: to make love to a woman)?
I've seen musings re: Jolly Roger that it was an English corruption of French phrase "joli rouge" (an ironic reference to bloodsoaked flags supposedly flown by early buccaneers). Perhaps "jolly" has a specifically nautical nuance; e.g., certain small boats carried by larger ships were known as "jolly boats." [How old is the phrase "Jolly Roger" anyway? Is it possible that Howard Pyle invented it in his 20th C. Book of Pirates?] Why do I suspect there may be a connection between the 2 Rogers? As is well known, the main obligation of any pirate gang was to pillage mercilessly. Unhappily, most pirates possessed very low moral character. Like Mary's Little Lamb, where ever pillage went, rapine was sure to go. Not much of a jump to the Victorian slang term, with its unavoidable connotation of vigorous male action. Person A was said to "roger" Person B, who was described as having been "rogered" by Person A.
Unfortunately, nobody really knows the answer to your question. Not that I doubt that pirates would have enjoyed the doube entendre involved in raising a jolly roger, mind you.
One common theory for the name has it coming from the French 'joli rouge', meaning 'merry red'. Which is a plausible theory, I suppose, if you assume that all the early pirates were English merchantmen who didn't bother to change their flags before they turned to piracy.
The problem is that pirate flags have been around from the early 1700's, and many of them are completely different from each other. Some are red, some have weapons, and some were even the 'traditional' skull and bones. So if the name was adopted early, it doesn't seem too likely (to me, at least) that it was adopted based on any characteristics of the flags themselves.
