Reference excerpt

Usage The most common usage is Australian slang for a man searching around for casual sex, as in "on the pirate" or the verb "to pirate". It has also been used to describe a pimp who steals a prostitute from another pimp. A more recent slang usage is a fictitious sex act called "the pirate" or "the angry pirate". Sex columnist Dan Savage fielded a question from a reader who asked about the act. The reader described it as "when you’re getting a blowjob from a girl, and when you cum, you ejaculate in her eye. Then you kick her in the shin. The result is the woman is squinting her eye and hopping up and down on one foot, holding her leg and screaming, "ARRRGH!" Savage replied "no one has ever attempted "the Pirate," just as no one has ever performed a Hot Karl, delivered a donkey punch, or inserted an Icy Mike. They're all fictions."

Compound words The term is also used in compound words, including "tango pirate," popularized in the early 20th century to describe gigolos who sought out wealthy women at dances. The terms "butt pirate" or "ass pirate" or "poo pirate" have been used as sexual slurs for gay men. The term "Pamper pirate", in reference to the diaper brand Pampers, has been used to describe a child molester.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pirate (sexual slang)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pirate (sexual slang) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pirate (sexual slang) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pirate (sexual slang) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pirate (sexual slang)

In research: Pirate (sexual slang) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pirate (sexual slang) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pirate (sexual slang) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Sexual abuse, Sexual harassment, Sexual misconduct, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pirate (sexual slang) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
