Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day! Alright ye cowardly swabs, Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
As you are out and about on September 19, don’t be surprised if you hear people saying, “Ahoy, matey,” “Avast,” “Aye, Aye Capt’n,” “Land ho!” and many other pirate-like phrases.
When ordering your coffee in the drive-thru, ask if they have change for a gold doubloon. Try testing your pirate language out at the library when asking for the location of Treasure Island.
The pirate language always fares well in rough seas. Settle a debate with “I’m right or I’ll walk the plank!” It's a far better solution than resorting to swashbuckling...or keelhauling.
When the boss gives you a new project, “Aye, aye, Capt’n,” is the correct response. However, beware calling the boss any frothy names, such as a "rapscallion" or "lily-livered bilge rat".
The goal of the day is not to lose your job and have it be lost to Davy Jones locker.
To polish your pirate persona, practice the swagger, limp or squint of a scurvy buccaneer. Long days on the high seas give pirates unique qualities.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Yo ho ho and anchor’s away! Fly the the Jolly Roger! Any and all landlubbers, find your sea legs and a barrel o’ rum. Feel free to join in anytime with your own version of piratical slang.
Master it, and you can face today with a smile on your face and a parrot on your shoulder...if that’s your thing. Learn more on how to talk like a pirate by visiting the website below:
