Don Rosa's arpine luséne would probably employ this word in his speech (if he hasn't already done this), as in french, his french accent is translated into a speech with old and weird french words... it's also a word employed by Captain Haddock from Hergé's TINTIN..<BR>
so the exact definition is : pirate in american seas in the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries by extension, it means rogue, deceiver,...AOL's translation of the word is "pirate". I think Haddock's exact terms were "flibustier de carnaval" (carnival flibustier)</FONT></HTML>
