What's in a Pirate name?


During this Somali pirate crisis, I discovered a new blog due to a Obama/pirate parody that went viral on the web: Obama Reaches Out to 'Moderate' Pirate Community and its equally hilarious follow-up: Resolved: Vikings > Pirates.


Check them out and tell them Aunt Cranky sent you! Arrrrrrrrr!
But getting back to the topic title, now that we are being forced to speak in euphemisms to foster self esteem in the world I was pondering alternative names to "Pirate". "Sea Rovers"? "Aqua Terrorists"? "Maritime Redistributors of Wealth"? "Misunderstood Victims of the United States"?
Take your pick or add your own.
Update: SpeakDog offers the following:

Or, my personal favorite: Effing Thug PIRATES Who Need to Be Shot!!!
