Pirate Lingo, Sayings and Curses


Skull & Shackles


Anyone know a good place where I can expand my pirate vocabulary? GMed the first session last week and while I know enough nautical witticisms to get me through book 1 it won't be long before I start repeating myself for the next five books. Especially interesting in finding some really foul and creative pirate curses.

Look for a book called the Pirate Primer, Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers and Rogues.

My husband, and GM for our groups Skulls and Shackles, bought me this book before the APs first session and it is a phenomenal resource. It's a rather thick book with separate sections for oaths, curses, greetings, responses, phrases, nautical slang, one syllable grunts, and a few more types of words. I totally second Scarykavus endorsement.


Alright yeah this looks both useful and hilarious. YOINK. Thanks guys.
