Looking for pirate jargon, this site told about one pirate expression I never heard before: > **[Pirate Lingo - Experience the Ultimate Pirate Ride](https://piratevoyages.com/pirate-lingo/)** > > Speak like a Pirate in our Pirate Boad. For ride availability and custom package options, click or dial (609)398-7555 for more info. > Crack Jenny’s Teacup: Term for spending the night with a prostitute. Is that accurate? ---

Avast, ye layabouts! I seized an early tide and put on a pirate festival five days agone. A pistol-proof blaggart went and took a walk, and every scurvy swab was out to take tha helm. Swingin’ from the riggin, scourin’ tha isle for booty, an’ brawlin’ o’course, all to put t’ proof their pirate prowess! ---

The gaudy, blabbing and remorseful day Is crept into the bosom of the sea; And now loud-howling wolves arouse the jades That drag the tragic melancholy night; Who, with their drowsy, slow and flagging wings, Clip dead men’s graves and from their misty jaws Breathe foul contagious darkness in the air. Therefore bring forth the soldiers of our prize; For, whilst our pinnace anchors in the Downs, Here shall they make their ransom on the sand, Or with their blood stain this discolour’d shore. … What? ---

So, I saw these two Amazon packages on the porch. There was a car parked in the driveway but there didn’t seem to be anyone home. I watched for a few minutes and then I just walked right up and grabbed them, no problem. Oh, sorry, wrong kind of pirate.
