pirates say matey to one another instead of friend or comrade or bro.

m8y is slightly shorter and makes use of the number 8, which is always a plus for anything that has to do with piracy.

the british loyalist country continent of austrailia says a similar m8, tho, sellouts aren't pirates, they're just sellouts.
