What's the difference between a pirate and a bandit?

pirates have more seamen

A pirate operates at sea, a bandit is usually on land

Oh and a buccaneer is a bandit who sails across the sea but lands and robs towns that are close to the sea :)

Spelling 🤔

The dialect. Bandies and not saying '' ARRGH, matey!" "Blow me Down" and shit like that. Real bandits are far to busy swindling and hiding.

well one is johnny depp but he wasn't as good as robert newton but.. bandit will always be burt reynolds. :P

A bandit never says, "do these pants make my ass look fat?" A pirate might not say that either. So, it's back to the drawing board.

After more thought pirates are always after your booty

location..

bandits are usually on the road while pirates sail the seas

[c=#BF6900]There's an expression "make out like a bandit" but nobody says "make out like a pirate" [/c]

I think a pirate is a bandit on the high seas.

Please open you wrapped gift. I have send you a gift.

Mostly skill level it would take more to be a pirate.

That I ain't no stinkin bandit

You are a lovely person.

One tends to love water

The eyepatch duh.

Bandit is in the desert, pirate is in the ocean.

One sails the seas the other is played in pubs
