Pilate

A Chinese Pirate.

Pronounced: Pie-leht! (Exclamation mark very important.)

15th Century Chinese Pirates : Bad-ass mothers pwning Ming dynasty trading ships and making everyone their bitches.

21st Century Chinese Pirates : Predominantly inbred layabouts taking a back seat to Somali fishermen-come-terrorists. The Somali pirates however have a lot to learn when negotiating with the U.S. Navy - U.S. Navy snipers 3, Somali Pirates 0.

Common misconception: The term Pilot involves flying aircraft and has nothing to do with being a 'Pilate!'. Airborne piracy is notoriously difficult and if you fall overboard, it is often a long way down. On the plus side you do not need to learn how to swim. Ever.

From Herod to Pilate

When you have to run back and forth between two or more people/officials/offices (seemingly to no end) in hopes of resolving your issue. Typically used in the world of bureaucracy where one hand often doesn't know what the other is doing and no one has an answer to your question.
I have been sent back and forth from Herod to Pilate for a year now to get a verification-stamp on my passport and now you're telling me that you don't really have the TIME??
