What is the term for the black flag with skulls and crossbones?
If you mean of pirate lore, it is known as the Jolly Rodger.While a pirate crew would fly the black flag to intimidate a potential ship it intended to attack, it was not the only flag used. A crew would first fly the skull and crossbones on a black background so the other ship would be intimidated, if the other ship didn't surrender the crew would lower the black flag and raise a red flag with a skull and cross bones or whatever symbol the ships crew used as a Jolly Rodger. The red flag showed the crew the time for surrender was over and now everyone on the ship would be killed. Pirates did not take prisoners nor did they spare those people that didn't surrender the first offer.

What is the flag that pirates sail on?
Pirates of the 17th & 18th centuries often flew a black flag, indicating allegiance to no country. In the early 1700's, many began using emblems meant to cause fear, such as a devil with an hourglass ("time is running out"), or a skull and crossbones ("surrender or die"). The skull and crossbones came to be known as the Jolly Roger. Many pirates had their own unique design. Another tactic that was often used by pirates was to have a chest with several national flags. When approaching a target ship, they would fly the flag of a friendly nation to put them at ease, then raise the Jolly Roger once they got close. Sometimes the victims would surrender, or jump overboard, rather than engaging in battle; then the pirates could take the booty without a fight-- easy money!
