"Ah-har! Jim lad! Shiver me timbers!"

"I don't know as I recall askin' ye for yer thoughts, ye scurvy bilge-drinkin' tar-merchant. Avast yer gob afore I keelhaul ye an' string yer bones from the crow's nest." - I didn't ask for your opinion. Shut up or you'll regret it.

"Yarr! Weigh anchor! Hoist the mizzen! Savvy, ye scallywag?!" “Or ye will be in Davey Jones' locker soon, ye Landlubber!”

"Thar she blows!" - The pirate equivalent of "Whoop, there it is!". [Arrgh...that be Whaler talk, and no respectable pirate would speak like a blubber lubber!]

"ARRRGHHHH" - this phrase shows general discontent. or it can also mean that someone is about to get wild- a.k.a. a battle cry.

"wake me at the zenith of the moon" - only full blown pirates know this phrase. An educated pirate is rare but also the most deadly kind. They are smarter than you and crazier.

"Ahoy, me hearties!" - Equivalent of "Hello, my friends!"

"Avast ye scum ridden weevil shaggers. Captain Black Beard is gonna keel haul you and grow barnacles on ye starboard knacker". - The Captain isn't happy...

"I'm gonna make a kill" - This pirate is going to kill something... and he is serious about it.

"Dogs ahoy!" - Equivalent of "Things to kill, straight ahead."

"Shiver me timbers!" - Like saying "Oh My!" like my legs are shaking

"Skuttle me Skippers" - Making a mistake and being judged for/by it.

"Avast ye varmint" - Stop right there young man because you're in big trouble.

"Weigh anchor!" - Let's go!

"Yarr." - I agree.

"Yarr!" - I see your point, and agree wholeheartedly.

"Yarr-ha-harr!" - You're right!

"Yarr?" - Excuse me, what did you say?

"Yarrgh" - I respectfully acknowledge that you are right and I am wrong

"Blow me down!" - You don't say? How surprising.

"Ye Scalawag!" - Meanings can range from affectionate, as in you dumbs**t!--to exasperated, as in You stupid son of a ____!--to the last word you say before you gut them like a fish: You dirty dog!

"Savvy?" - Is that okay with you? Do you understand?

"Ahoy" - Call to attract attention, something akin to 'Hello, there!'

""Fo'c's'le" - Slang for Forecastle. Room at the bow (front) of the ship where the crew sleeps.

"Head" - Small room in the very bow of the ship where a pirate used the sopping bucket. (Bathroom)

"Jack" - A flag or a sailor; showing how sailors would refer to their ship's colors as one of the crew. Hence Jack Tar for sailor and the Union Jack flag.

"Messdeck lawyer" - A know-it-all

"Salmagundi" - A dish of chopped meat, eggs, anchovies, onions and anything else the cook can throw in; A piratical delicacy

"Son of a Biscuit Eater" - Not so much a sailor term, but a derrogatory term indicating someone you don't like

"Landlubber" - (Landlover)A "Non-pirate" or a curse for someone who is a coward

"Mungus" - A legendary pirate. I fear for my ancestors!


"Weigh anchor! Hoist the mizzen!!!" - Basically adds on to Let's go!

"davey jones' locker" - death after walking the plank. your coffin in the sea.

"A merry yarn" - A good story

"Arrrghh, thar's a storm a brewin" - For a pirate, anytime the wind is over Force 5 and he can't see his hook in front of his eyepatch. For a landlubber, anytime the wind is above 5 knots and there's a cloud in the sky. Both require imbibing grog. For both, whenever the first, second, third...mates (female) come yelling "AARRGGGHH, you dirty dog, I'm gonna make a kill." Definitely requires both to imbibe vast quantities of rum and weigh anchor before being keelhauled and made to walk the plank. (Note: One would be very lucky to be able to walk the plank after being keelhauled!)

"Three sheets to the wind" - Refers to a very drunk person. There is actually a scale for rating "how drunk" someone is -- "one sheet" being only slightly drunk and "four sheets" being unconscious.

"arrrrgh shocked to the very boney"

"Yarrg! These DVDs be o-the finest quality, an' a piece of 8 will land ye 5 films of your choice!" - Good quality illegally recorded movies on offer.


"Batten down yer hatches before I shiver me timber up yer poop deck!"

"A dubloon in me face is better'n a piece of eight!"

"WHERE BE THE TREASURE" - WHERE IS THE TREASURE

"LAND AHOY" - I SEE LAND

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day Matie!

Been waiting for this day for months! Every call we get today is getting treated like they are gonna walk the plank!
