Tonight I got together with my dear friend, who I've mentioned here before (here), to watch movies. We ended up watching Cutthroat Island. Here are a few gems from tonight's conversation.


*Geena Davis is fighting somebody, dagger clenched in her mouth*
Friend: Oh, look, she has a buccaneer in her teeth!
Me: I think you mean "dagger."
Friend: Oh, that's right, a buccaneer is a curved sword.
Me: No, that's a cutlass. A buccaneer is a pirate.


Friend: Wow, that's a pretty...what are those things on the front of ships called?
Me: Figurehead, I believe.
Friend: Oh, yeah. I kept thinking "maidenhead," but that's very, very wrong.

maidenhead? Thanks, now there's ice cream in my nose.

Maybe, if she's fighting* really fiercely, she will have a buccaneer in her teeth.

*: or doing other things

No, no, no, that's wrong! Everyone knows that a buccanneer is the price of corn.

...
.....

Well. She could have a buccaneer between her teeth. She needs to remove the dagger first...

Your friend may have been confused by "buckler", a kind of shield...

Laughing at the second one. It reminds me of Terry Pratchett's description of some folksong or other - apparently it's about a girl "who travels to Maidenhead and loses her Aylesbury." (Both are places in Britain. I pity people with an address like that.)
