In ZMQ messaging library there is large number of patterns derived from a base "Pirate" pattern. To quote the documentation:

I like to call the Pirate patterns (you'll eventually get the joke, I hope).

I have a pretty through understanding of the ZMQ architecture, having worked with it over a half dozen projects and couple of years. Despite this, and reading basically the entire guide, I don't get the joke.

Perhaps there isn't one, but I can't help the itch that I am missing something fairly obvious. Thanks.

From the docs:

reliable request-reply (RRR) patterns that I like to call the Pirate patterns

Pirates say 'arrrr!' like RRR, hence pirate patterns.
