Okay here's my pirate joke.

A ship is sailing the high seas when the crows nest guy calls down, "Pirate ship ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch my reddest jacket!" The boy brings the reddest jacket he can find and the captain puts it on. They engage in battle and sink the pirate ship. The boy asks, "Cap'n, why did you call for your red jacket?" The captain says, "So that if I should be wounded in battle the crew would not notice the blood and lose their fighting spirit."

Next day the crows nest calls down, "Twenty pirate ships ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch by brownest pants!"

Yes, fun idea. No problem with that but... that 'flag' is a sail. They're different things.

Do they also pronounce "human" as "hugh mon?"

If so, that's a Ferenghi ship.

That is a sail...

Not as bad as the ones that call women femoids.

Remember, pirates did fly red flags as well as black ones. The red ones meant you were extra fucked.

female as an adjective for clarification (like "oh you're looking for that female doctor over there") is ok, female as a noun is just weird

I been wondering people's opinion of "Female" in some instances. Like is "First Female president/athlete/mayor/lawyer" appropriate? "First woman____" doesn't sound right and you wouldn't say "first man athlete to run 2 hour marathon" you would use male.

Most things can be rephrased maybe, but obviously using Females outside these instances is very right wing cringe.

I wonder if the joke would work better if it actually was a black background. This might also keep the 'its a sail' gang happier.

These very same people would have no problem calling women 'people that birth'.

Someone should really tell everyone from the south. I had no idea until it was pointed out to me by someone younger. Changed my behavior of course, but was simply ignorant before.
