I can't think of one for jolly, but "happy as a grig" is a favorite, if that helps.

I've heard "merry as a grig."

... What is a grig, anyways?

Ok, yes, I think it was traditionally a tinker, but if the question is what would make Jack jolly....

Aha, tinker is what I need! I was thinking it was bishop, for some reason. Thanks :)

You're quite welcome.

I'm not sure the phrase really works in the Caribbean, of course- how does the climate treat tin? They might not be so jolly.... ;}

Depends if it's meant to mean a tinsmith or a Traveller - the latter would suit Jack just dandy.

Also, just because it doesn't work in their current setting doesn't mean none of them would use it / have picked it up from other places or other people.

Oh, I know... people still beat swords into ploughshares despite having never seen either, after all... I'm just enjoying the picture of the crew getting into an argument over it.

Ok sandpiper was the first thing that popped into my head, but now I think about it, I'm not sure if that's something else, hmmmm...

ETA: Ooh, ooh, ooh. *raises hand* Jolly as a Roger??? ;P
