If you opened this you know I am referring to the great line in Pirates of the Caribbean in which Captain Jack Sparrow answers the accusation of cheating with a simple, yet slightly incredulous and sarcastic “Pirate?”.
I don’t know about you, but in my circle of family and coworkers, "Pirate has replaced “Duh” as an exclamation to indicate “of course” or “what did you expect?”
Am I alone here? Come on, lets add this to the lexicon!

::bows:: You rule. I had never considered using that in such a context, but I most certainly will now.

Oh, and “lexicon.”
I use pirate-themed pickup lines, if that counts.
“Arrr, care to walk me plank?”
“Avast, wench! Kneel and polish me pegleg, if ye know what boat I be sailing…”
I think we need a pirate smiley.

I can’t get it to show as a smilie, 'cause the board disabled that feature. Pirate!
“Pirate.”
I LIKE that…
Well shiver me timbers! 
Now we just need to ask a moderator to add it.
I feel the need to announce that I did not make that smilie, but found it on a website. It is someone else’s work–not sure if the mods have to ask permission to add it.
Speaking of pirates. A few months ago, at a late-night drunken poker game, we played a hand where everyone had to talk like a pirate. If you said anything normally (non-pirate talk), you had to put $1 in the pot.
It was great fun. Just imagine, 4 grown men and 2 grown women talking like pirates and playing poker.
Jplacer, I think I might try that sometime…
I think I just did. Last weekend. Now I’m in big trouble, whoo boy!
I haven’t used “pirate” in place of “duh” before, and I’ve seen the movie twice, but I’ll start now. No one will understand, but no one understands me anyway.
Bah. Imagine instead three young white men drunkenly rowing a boat (well, a floating plank) into the middle of a lake in pitch blackness while talking like pirates… in two different Chinese dialects. However the hell that works. Easily the best drunken activity I’ve ever partaken in, since I didn’t drown.
