bilge rat

the bilge is the part of a ship below the floor boards of the bottom level, just above the hull... ie the darkest and most grim part of the boat. a rat is, well, a small annoying (and to some people, scary) rodent. Therefore the term "bilge rat" is a pirate insult.

arrr, ye be a great foolish bilge rat, ye be!

yonder

i'm not clear on it's background; look at the others for that. but i can tell you that it can be used infront of a noun, when describing, for example, where you're going to your parents.

parent; Jo, where are you going tonight?
Jo: to yonder manga club.
