Accordin’ to yon pirate page, yo-ho-ho indeed be pirate laughter.

But there be also another source claimin’ that ’tis merely a scallywag’s variant of yo-heave-ho, the chant that all good sea-farin’ folk use to keep their rhythm when haulin’ cannon to the scuppers.

Seems ’tis likely yo-ho-ho be used to maintain the rhythm in yer fine sea chantey as well. When ye shipmates sing out yo, yer all be givin’ yon rope a hearty pull.

What does “yo-ho-ho” mean?
I can not think of any another good phrase to describe the sense, "Open Hearted". This characteristic is like one who does not posses the nature of being stubborn, who has the ability to listen and in certain cases accept others' theories though they can be in opposite of his own theory. A good example would be if a person is capable of admitting if there is some bad customs in his own religion and he does not fall back to admit it in front of others and change the custom in his regular life. What is the name of this characteristic?
