Egads. International Talk Like A Pirate Day falls on a Tuesday this year. September 19, 2017.

Cast off yer frippery and purchase a fecket for yerself and all the members of yer crew. 

(Fecket is pirate-speak for a shirt made from jersey. Landlubbers would call this item a T-shirt.)

Gift yer wench with a fetching garment reading "Booty Call" and you can count on getting a jolly rogering!

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, 2017.
My dogs bark like pirates at all landlubbers every day of the year. Arrrf. To get yer tongue around some piratical slang you may want to check out a few handy resources.

The speech of Long John Silver and his co-conspirators is a great introduction to talking like a pirate. ReadingTreasure Island is rewarding as well as entertaining. You can also listen to the audiobook version which is available at my favorite website, Audible.com. I enjoyed the version narrated by Alfred Molina. To hear a sample, click here.

You can order a new or used copy of How To Speak Pirate: A Treasure Chest of Seafaring Slang by Geordie Telfer by clicking here.
