Speak Like A Pirate

Avast! The following excerpt is taken from the the official Talk Like a Pirate website:

• Aarrr!: Pirate exclamation. Done with a growl and used to emphasize a pirate’s current feelings.
• Ahoy: Hello
• Avast: Stop and pay attention
• Beauty: lovely woman
• Belaying Pin: small wooden pin used for holding rigging in place. Sometimes used as a bludgeoning weapon.
• Cutlass: Popular sword among pirates
• Davy Jones’ Locker: The bottom of the sea. The final resting place for many pirates and their ships. As far as anyone knows, there was no real person named Davy Jones. It’s just the spirit of the ocean, firmly a part of pirate mythology since at least the middle of the 18th century.
• Grog: A drink that pirates enjoyed
• Hornpipe: single reed instrument, also a dance.
• Lubber: Land lover. Someone who doesn’t want to go to sea.
• Matey: Friend or comrade
