Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit like a cheater for having gone back & taken it a 2nd time after thinking Dirty Ethel Read was a horrible name. My most sincere pirate apologies to your Great Grannie!
Not a prob Mom... in fact we are somewhat very proud of Great Grandma Dirt.
If it wasn't for her they would be missing a great amount of Pirate lingo.
She was well endowed, hence the saying, "Treasure Chest".
She was very active .. errr lets say in calming of the meanest of Pirates.. hence.."Be prepared to give up the Booty!!!".
And to add just one more from a dazed yet satisfied Pirate "Shiver Me Timbers...".
Also she penned the song "What do you do with a Drunken Sailor" and the Famous saying "Yo, Ho Ho".
We are still very proud of Great Grandma Dirt, Hook Arm and Wooden Leg.
Those were her Sisters. Born Triplets from different Pirates.
BTW the confusing thing throughout the stories is that she sent Davy Jones to his Locker... several times... don't know why all he had in there was Whale Oil?
