As Eric at HawaiiStories reminds us:

Arrr! Today be the 11th Annual International Talk Like A Pirate Day, a day t’ swagger and speak as if ‘twere 1700 and Blackbeard still sailed the Spanish Main. Why? There need be no reason. Talkin’ like a pirate be reason a-plenty!

If you're Pirate Deficient like myself, there are some great tools linked from the Talk Like a Pirate website linked above, from commonly used phrases and terms and a pirate translator. You can even try to run a website through this translator.

Here's the Star-Bulletin story on the Emmy Awards for "Lost" in piratespeak.

"That's possible. I've killed a lot of people, but I can't afford to make exceptions. If word gets out that a pirate has gone soft, then it's work work work all the time."

"Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Of course, there are other piratical ways of talking, too.

Insult: You fight like a dairy farmer.
Comeback: How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I can't remember who it was but it was a wahine radio co-host on a local radio station on Oahu many many years ago. She was telling a Halloween joke and it went like this:

A Filipino kid dressed in a Pirate's costume knocks on a door, "Trick or treat" says the little boy.

The lady answers the door, "My what a cute Pirate's costume, but where are your buccaneers" she asks.

Confused, the little boy replies, "On my Buckin' head!" Yes it was on the radio!

The insensitivity shown privateers here is shocking. Stereotyping of this kind has no place in today's multicultural environment. The stereoscopically challenged are people too and the proper term is prosthesis.

Be warned all ye lubbers. Now be the time for the drinkin' of rum drinks.
