YESTERYEARWhy is a pirate flag called the Jolly Roger? ANOTHER possibility is that English pirates in the Indian Ocean began to refer to the red flag of the Tamil pirate Ali Raja by his name and 'Ally Roger' or 'Olly Roger' was later corrupted to Jolly Roger.

David Mitchell, in his book Pirates, discusses this question and seems to prefer a derivation from Old Roger - a synonym for the Devil.

His fashion statements, facial and otherwise, have helped made him a nearly overnight sensation on the alternative side of the country music fence, although the heightened sense of honest mystery in his music might accounts for that even more than the magnetic enigma of his persona.
