barretts privateers

A great song by Stan Rogers (May he rest in peace)
A (fictional) story song about a man aboard a scrawny boat called Antelope, in the year 1776, the height of the American Revolution. They were hunting the seas for American Gold
She was attacked by Americans near Montego Bay, Jamaica.
She was ultimately sunk.

The antagonist of the song finally made it back to his homeport of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Six years after the Antelope was sunk.

It's also a great drinking song.
Person 1: 'Man, we should start singing Barretts Privateers!'
Person 2: 'Sure!'

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-DRINK MORE BEERS! (Originally Shed No Tears)
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

Priveness 

Priveness. A mixup of business and private life due to work at home situations.
Awwwww man picked my nose again in front of everyone in the fucking meeting. Fucking Priveness!
The starting of a videocall not realizing one is still wearing its bathrobe and dirty undies, classic Priveness.

"Kid walks in during a meeting and decides to take a shit on the floor" because Priveness.
