Pirates are here to save the day !!!1!!one!

[Thwarptide]

Why are pirates called pirates???

Since pirates never bathed and their ships were rat infested, they were commonly refered to as "filthy rats" by their victims.
Since pirates often ran low on food, they took to eating the rats on board.
Eventually pirates became tired of plain rat every day, so they took to making rat pies.
At one point pirates would become so enamored with rat pie, they would often overtake ships and take only the pie plates and rats.
Hence they were afforded the accolade of pie rats.

As human language Etymology progressed, the term pie rats fell victim to change and what we see today is the result of those changes (pirates).
Would you like to know more?

(am I good at making up ridiculous stories or what?)

Very nice, thwarp. Very nice indeed.

Etymology. The English word "pirate" is derived from the Latin pirata ("pirate, corsair, sea robber"), and Greek πειρατής (peiratēs), "brigand", in turn from πειράομαι (peiráomai), "I attempt", from πεῖρα (peîra), "attempt, experience". The meaning of the Greek word peiratēs literally is "one who attacks (ships)".
