Whilst it may sound like that, he’s actually saying, “Show em’ your LARBOARD side deary”.Dr.Seeker said:3. Pirate: Show us yer lighter side deary!
And now for the history lesson – the right hand side of a ship was that side which was moored against the port and it would have a board going from the ship to the land – a “Landboard”, which then became Larboard. However sometime in the 1800’s (I think) it was discovered that the name Larboard sounded too much like Starboard in the heat of battle or storm that big mistakes could happen, so they changed the name to what we use now – Port.
