Jolly Rogger?

A happy fellow.

He means who made up the jolly ranger as in the pirate flag with the skulls on it.JM

If you are talking aboot the Pirate flags...."Jolly Roger" comes from the French "Joli Rouge" which means "pretty red"...its no person ...if you talk aboot someone else...I have no clue

By the way this is just one theory the most accepted though.....

In the beginning it wasn't the now so well known Black Skull and Bones Flag but just a Red banner......

I agree......but I think people that met someone with that flag once decided that it is a very frightening flag......

This is Edward Englands Flag...the kind of Flag we see as a basic "Jolly Roger" nowadays

the guys name was Edward teach.....and it somehow reminds me of some Teachers......

hmm...creative but doesnt make my feel terror. wonder what his angle was

Each pirate captain had a differently designed Jolly Roger (pirate flag). Often, the flags would show symbols of death and destruction. The name "Jolly Roger" is thought to have originated from a nickname for the devil, "Old Roger". However, it is more likely to have gotten its name from the French word for "pretty red", "Jolie Rouge" as Bardock42 said. The classic design, skull and crossbones, was used to indicate in the captain's log the death of a sailor. It is suggested by experts that this is origin of the actual appearance of the Jolly Roger.

"Edward Teach (a.k.a. Blackbeard) used a skeleton holding an hourglass in one hand and a spear or dart in the other while standing beside a bleeding heart. "
