                Getting out of a sticky situation. Quoted from the first Pirates of the Caribbean, when Jack Sparrow is literally about to get his ass handed to him, but before he gets pwoned he quotes the pirate law of parlay, where if a pirate shouts this he and his party cannot be harmed.
                this can be used in many situations today, such as not getting sacked from work, or splitting up with your girlfriend just to name a few.

                  In betting terms a parlay is used to take winnings from a previous bet and add them to a new bet. A better term to describe this would be to Press your Luck.
