i& #39;m here to share the fact that the word "matey," which we commonly associate w/ pirates is gay. this is b/c it stems from the word matelotage which was the consistent sharing between two seafaring men, and while this could have simply been wealth, there are also instances 1/2
where this would refer to romantic feelings as seen with John Swann and Robert Culliford. so the next time you use the word "matey" i hope you remember this thread 2/2
