Ahoy!
September 19 is talk like a pirate day.
Patron Saint of this pirate festival
is Actor Robert Newton.
Back in the 1950s, he played the pirate Long John Silver
in a movie adaptation of Treasure Island.
And now 70 years on when we think about the way pirates
talk, we are and Yo!
Ho!
much like Robert Newton did with the West Country accent.
Here are some phrases to get you through talk like a pirate day.
Ahoy!
Avast ye!
That scurvy dog Craig.
Ha' robbed me salmagundi!
Shiver me timbers!
That freebooter thinks he can hornswaggle his shipmates,
does he?
I'll make him walk the plank old salt. No quarter given!
Yo!
Ho!
Enjoy talk like a pirate day, you land lover.
