For those of you who were (blissfully) unaware, yesterday was Talk Like a Pirate Day<\/a>. After Brady<\/a> reminded me of this, I reminded dear Phineas<\/a>, who took to it like a ship to sea. I’m telling you people, nobody can talk like a pirate like Phineas can talk like a pirate. He’s, like, Bluebeard’s long lost great great great great grandson. Or something. To wit:<\/p>\n

L: Arrr, matey! Tis talkin’ like a pirate day, ye scurvy dog!<\/p>\n

P: Aye, that it be. I be wanting of a bottle o’ rum and some wenches! Arrr!<\/p>\n

L: Arrr! Aye, I could do with a strappin’ young sailor to board meself! Will ye be wantin’ te join me for feedin’ later on?<\/p>\n

P: I surely be, says I. But I must get back to port and fetch me skiff first. Arrr!<\/p>\n

L: Ye’ll want to be quick about it, er I’ll hang ye from the yardarm!<\/p>\n

P: I’ll see ya in Davy Jones’ Locker first, ya wharf rat!<\/p>\n

L: Arrr! I’ll clean me cutlass with yr lubber’s blood!<\/p>\n

P: I’ll give yr ribcage to me parrot for a home, drink me grog from yr brain case and throw what’s left to the squids and barnacles!<\/p>\n

L: Arr, yer not fit to walk me plank! Me cat’ll make short work o ye!<\/p>\n

L: [later, obviously forgetting myself again] Running late- go on in , will be there asap<\/p>\n

P: Avast, matey! Already here with a bucket o’ grog! Center front, me hearty! Arrr!<\/p>\n

See that ye be buyin’ more grog when ye gets ashore! I’m a thirsty pirate, says I! And where be all the wenches at? I’ve been at sea a long time…<\/p>\n

L: Aye, me hearty! I be hankerin fer the taste o young and tender flesh meself!<\/p>\n

P: Arrr! Ye scurvy old sea dog! Can’t get enough, can ye? I’ll have ya keelhauled!<\/p>\n

One of the things we noticed is that pirate speak is chock full of excellent euphemisms for sex: walk me plank; shiver me timbers; prepare to be boarded… Got any more that I’m missing?<\/p>\n
