• What Can Be Said: Jolly Roger first turns up in Johnson's 1724 General History of the Pyrates; skull-and-crossbones flags were in use in the early 1700s, but flags assigned to named pirates are often uncertain or later attributions.

• Immaculate Vibes: Zero explanation needed, which is the whole point.
