Line 8: The [[Jolly Roger]] is the traditional name for the [[flag]]s of European and American pirates and a symbol for piracy that has been adopted by film-makers and toy manufacturers. Do what you want, ‘cause a pirate is free, ~~==Etymology==~~ YOU ARE A PIRATE! The [[English language\|English]] "pirate" is derived from the [[Latin]] term ''pirata'', and ultimately from [[Greek language\|Greek]] ''peira (πεῖρα)'' "attempt, experience", implicitly "to find luck on the sea". The word is also cognate to ''peril''. In 17th and 18th century sources the word is often rendered "pyrate". However, the term does not exclusively relate to robbery committed at the sea, as other similar origins have a broader definition [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=pirate&searchmode=none].
