Ahoy!...
so ye thinks ye can be a pirate now, matey?...
ye may look like a pirate...
and ye may smell like a pirate...
but can ye talk like a pirate?...
here be a smidgen of a lesson for ye, then...
All Hands Hoay! - "All Hands on Deck!", everyone on the ship called to the deck, usually for action
Grab ye parrot and get ready to pirate down...
Avast - "Avast Ye!" from the Dutch term for 'hold fast' and means "Stop and pay attention.", like, "Get a load of this."
Black Spot - a death threat among pirates made of a black spot or mark on a scrap of paper with more specific detail sometimes written on the other side, referred to in the story, Treasure Island.
Dance the Hempen Jig - To hang, (rope was often made of hemp fibers)
Dungbie - rear end
Go on Account -a tongue-in-cheek description pirates used that compared the act of becoming a pirate to going into business
Hornswaggle - To cheat or defraud, often of money or belongings, Yosemite Sam knows a lot about it
Shiver me timbers! - akin to "Blow me down!", an expression of shock or disbelief, believed to come from the sound the ship made when 'shocked' by running aground or hit by a cannon blast.
Swing the Lead - A lead weight swung from a line into water when near shore was a way to measure depth, the job's simple requirements caused the phrase to evolve into a term for slacking off
Take a Caulk - The deck's gaps were sealed with oakum and tar, and napping on them would leave black lines on the clothes. Someone going to nap on deck could say they were going to "take a caulk"
Black Jack - large drinking cups made of leather that were made stiffer with an application of tar
Bumboo - A drink of the West Indies made with watered rum and flavored with sugar and nutmeg
Grog - the nickname of a British admiral was applied to a mix of water and rum, the rum was a cheap antiseptic and flavor mask for the spoiled water that sailors often encountered while at sea
Hogshead- a large barrel or cask holding 63 to 140 gallons, usually referring to alcohol
Aye matey...
all this pirate lingo wears out a weary soul...
tis time to take a caulk...
and sleep off the bumboo...
if ye thinks ye have what it takes to go on account...
here be a wonderful place to start...
until we meets again...
may the winds be in ye sails...
ye hogshead always full...
and may ye steer clear of Davy Jones locker...
