Arrrr and Ahoy me hearties on the International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Grab some grog, put on ye eye patch an’ hoist the jolly roger. An’ then mateys, talk like the buccaneer ye arrrrrrr. So why should we talke like a pirate today? Yo-ho-ho, for fun aye! Ye will never be swashbucklin’ on the high seas, but ye sure can talk like a gentlemen of fortune! Want a little crash course of things to casually drop in a conversation ye scurvy dogs?
Shiver me timbers – an exclamation of surprise
Son of a Biscuit Eater – derogatory for a bastard son of a sailor
Davy Jones’ Locker – the bottom of the Sea
Wench – a strong lady
Doubloons – pieces of gold
Avast, the best thing would be to dress like the fine pirate ye are and come at them wi’ a wannion. Thar she blows!
Ye see somethin’ ye like?
P.S.: This is not meant to be insulting to real pirates in any way, shape or form.
