Ello Poppits!

Jeeze, it sounds like the writer there wasn't crazy about the other ones . . .I always thought that the pirate series was one of the few where the entertainment value stayed relatively high in all the sequels . . .the first was still the best . .but the 2nd and 3rd were extremely entertaining as well . . .but who knows . . .it might be just personal taste . . .I loved the Goonies when they first came out to.

poppet

1 a-Midland : doll b-obsolete : marionette
2chiefly British : dear
3 a: an upright support or guide of a machine that is fastened at the bottom only b: a valve that rises perpendicularly to or from its seat

I had the impression from my vast reading (cough) experience that poppets usually refer to children.  Which would be compatible with the first two of the above definitions.  Nothing came up when I entered poppit in.  I always thought it was a term for someone young.

Oh, I saw White Wing's link, friends is the thrid listing in their definition but the first two are like the entry I posted, doll/marionnete or an endearing term for a child.  And poppit is more properly spelled poppet according to that (not that it is a big deal, lol)

Perhaps that's what the OP meant -- friends.  That is nice.  I would think in the Pirates of the Carribean it was more as the term for a child when he spoke to the character.

So I have a thing about words, slap me, lol.
