Ah, the end of summer, the lull before the holidays...it's quiet, there's nothing on the immediate horizon...wait a minute! There, on the horizon! A ship! A pirate ship! With a Jolly Roger! ARRRGGGHHH! It's INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, just a few weeks away! Time to brush up on your piratespeak, get yourself a pirate t-shirt and be prepared for anything!
The definitive book on how to talk like a pirate has to be The Pirate Primer: Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers & Rogues
It's an awesome book, well researched and full of colorful history as well as every pirate word, phrase, utterance, oath, pirate curse, insult, cuss word and nautical term your little black heart could desire. Everything from "I'm a lewdly yapping cur..." to "souse me for a gurnet" is chronicled, along with source information. It's a great read, or I'm a salted codfish!
