Rewatching the Pirates of the Caribbean and not even thirty minutes in, the line "Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it" has me wanting to read something with some good verbiage. Not specifically looking for pirate, but I think fantasy and maybe even sci-fi are prime playgrounds for using language like this. (Oooh I'd be down for a Mafia book too if it fits).
Props to anyone who can tell me WHAT this language is called exactly because I'm finding it hard to explain. Instead of just saying "catch him so we can kill him," he uses words that make you think for a second about what he's implying, then you can really picture it in your head. I'm all for words that make you have to think.
I've read the Emperor's Assassin series by Kai Butler, and it gives a little bit of that, lot's of things being implied under what's actually spoken.
Please no mpreg or manwah
Thanks in advance
