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.
"Damn you, you yellow bellied Pilate!"

It means to 'wash your hands on' or bail on or walk out on someone (Just like Pontius Pilate did to Jesus)

Pontius Pilate 

Roman Judge at the Trial of Jesus Christ. Ordered the execution of Jesus but did so very reluctantly. Didn't believe Jesus conspired against Rome or committed treasonous actions.

A "Pontius Pilate" would be a person forced to do something they don't want to.

Cop #2: Haha, you are such a Pontius Pilate
