Okay, so far I've defined and found the etymological basis of:
pirate
corsair
buccaneer
privateer
viking
picaroon
letters of marque
Jolly Roger
cutlass
avast
keelhaul
blimey
treasure
booty
freeboote (and filibuster)
plunder


I have a list of more words, but I want input. What words would you say absolutely need to be in there?

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

I don't know if these are legitimate words per say, but they're the ones I associate with pirates:

yaar!
yo ho ho
Davy Jones's Locker

I think that's all I can think of. Everything else seems to be on your list.

How about...

scallawag?
bilge rat? (kind of a sailing term really)
musketoon?
mutineering?

But all things aside, the definitions you have are pretty good...and they look like they could be fairly long definitions as well...
