The "Jolly Roger" is used to refer to the skull and crossbones flag (white on black) which is associated with Caribbean pirates. Although I think the name comes from "jolie rouge" (Fr: "pretty red") which referred to an earlier all-red flag reportedly used by some pirates.

There's a lot of controversy about this, but the article I read from an information column called _The Straight Dope_ (I'm doing this from memory) said that one of the origins might be from the title "Ali Rajah" given to one of the pirates.
