Ahoy! You probably didn’t get the day off work or school for today’s very important—but little known— holiday. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate Day”. The premise is simple. Just talk like a pirate all day on September 19.
Need help? You’re in the right place, matey.
Some Simple Terms
You can start by reading the history of how this all started to give you a little motivation. And in case you need to explain the parrot on your shoulder to your boss. Here’s some pirate lingo, me hearties!
Ahoy! – “Hello!”
Arrrr! – Just say this a lot.
Aye! – “I agree!” Say it twice for the full affect.
Avast! – Stop and pay attention.
The Jolly Roger – The pirate flag
Hearties – Shipmates or friends
Yo ho ho – Pirate laughter
Pirates on the Internets?
Even geico.com has been taken over by buccaneers today. I mean, insurance is pretty important when you need to protect yer bountiful booty from ye scallywag, scurvy dogs and other perils, at sea or ashore. Just go to our homepage and look for the Jolly Roger.
You can also Google like a pirate, translate English to Pirate, and even see a list of every pirate movie ever made.
Finally, if you comment on this blog post, you should certainly do so in pirate-speak. Shiver me timbers!
Ahoy! Ye hearties shan’t get in t’ way o’ me accent! Shiver me timbers!
Arrrr…. Who be ye called, matey? Yon Caveman should make comment, aye, and discuss that GEICO 400 race!
Question: What is a pirates favorite type of music?
Answer: ARRRRR and B

ARRR - Me missed talk like a pirate day Me Hearties!
I’ll be offerin’ 0%.
Me favorite technique: Come to negotiate? Look what I got. I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt. And guess what’s inside it.
I don’t get the jar of dirt joke….
You guess what’s in a jar of dirt, the answer is dirt… And 0% of what? For what? Negotiate what? I don’t understand the whole comment at all 
It’s a quote from one of the Pirates of the Carribean movies – Dead Man’s Chest. Watch the movie, it’s great!! I don’t think Pirates explain crazy comments..
Hi webmaster, commenters and everybody else !!! The blog was absolutely fantastic!
To Michelle, I believe the dirt is actually the ashes of captain Davey Jones that was stolen from the trunk they dug up on the beach…Aaaargh ye maties its Davey Jones Locker… shiver me timbers and cross me heart lest you want to to join him you bunch of scallywags!
You landlubbers! Ain’t none of ye scurvy scum fit to swab the deck. Bilge rats, the whole lot a’ ya. I’ll string ya from the yard arm, then make ya walk the plank!
Davey Jones heart was what was int the dirt in the jar.
Actually, the jar of dirt was given to Jack Sparrow so that he could always carry “land” with him to prevent being taken to Davy Jones’ locker. Davy Jones can only be on land once every ten years and the premise was that by carrying the jar of dirt, Jack Sparrow was safe. At one point in time, the heart is hidden in the jar, but the jar really is just dirt. =)
Howdy yall! I reckon today be a good day for me an my kinfolk to saddle up and gather round a fire an heat up a can a beans!
…wait..sorry wrong post
I wish to put a ding within the universe.
