I think I speak for us all when I say, HAARRRRR!!!

I used to force the people that worked with to talk like a pirate on the 19th of Sep for the past 3 years. I remember hearing about this on the radio. It is for real.

RebelMan · 09-17-2005, 11:48 PM

Ksyrup · 09-19-2005, 11:17 AM

I found this on another site and thought it was pretty damn funny. So enjoy...and HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Has anyone else ever noticed the freaky one-to-one correspondence between pirate slang and gangstah rap slang? Seriously, the more you think about it, the more out of control it is.

Gangstah	Pirate
fo'ties	bottles o' rum
bling bling	booty
Yo!	Avast!
Homey	Matey
Bee-atch	Scurvey dog
Pop a cap in yo ass	Make you walk the plank
Word	Arrrrrrrrr
Beat down	Keel haul
Wack MC	Land lubber
Playah	Swashbuckler
Mack Daddy	Cap'n
Jacking	Plundering
Rap	Sea Shanties
The joint	The brig
Crew	Crew

I'm stopping, but it's because I'm merciful, not because I can't think of any more. And there are other parallels besides just the linguistic ones. Gangstahs have '64 Impalas with 20" Blades; pirates have sloops loc'ed out with 8" cannons. Gangstahs have gats; pirates have cutlasses. Gangstahs have gold teeth; pirates have peg legs and eye patches. Again, I'm stopping because I'm nice.

It has been a life-long dream to start the first Pirate Rap band, which would take advantage of the combined bad-assitude, homocidal mania, and parent-annoyingness of inner city hoodlums and 18th-century privateers. I'm not sure about the name. Maybe something like "Da Yellowbeardz" or something. Actually, I once came pretty close to forming the band in college. My roommate and I were discussing how much Hamm's you would need to drink before cutting off your leg below the knee and sticking a thick peg in the bloody stump suddenly changed from a good idea in the abstract into a fantastic idea right now (four), when I saw a flyer on a telephone pole advertising a free show. When I saw the third band on the list, my heart mutinied. I can't remember what they were called, but the one-line description of their music was this:

The Originators of Piratecore

There really aren't any good ideas left.

So, rappers and pirates were the only people ever to have weapons and use transportation?

Pirate talk days unearth a treasure trove of ideas

By Greg Elwell
The Oklahoman

For a landlocked state, Oklahoma has a lot of pirates.

Sixteen schools claim the keelhauling scurvy dogs as mascots, but only a few have confirmed their participation in today’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Putnam City High School Principal Don Wentroth said it will be his school’s first year to take part in the celebration of “pirate-speak.”

“A couple of my teachers brought it up last year, but we couldn’t pull everything together then,” he said. “Yar, but this year, it falls on our homecoming week.”

The Putnam City Pirates will take on the Lawton High School Wolverines on Friday. Wentroth said it’s the perfect time to boost students’ spirits with nautical lingo.

The school will hold a Talk Like a Pirate contest. The winner will make school announcements for the week and enjoy dinner and the football game from the “penthouse” of the stadium press box, he said.

Wentroth said he hopes to make today’s observation a yearly event for the school.

In Keyes, school superintendent Richard Gleave has authorized a day full of piratical activities.

The announcements will be done in pirate talk. The elementary students will play piratethemed games in physical education class, school secretary Charla Gleave said. High school students will help elementary students make eye patches.

Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers, who helped found International Talk Like a Pirate Day with his friend John “Ol’ Chumbucket” Baur, said he has heard from many schools where teachers make it a part of the curriculum for the day.

Teachings include the migration of civilizations by sea, how to use storage space and figure out the amount of supplies necessary for a four-month journey and how sea-faring language has worked its way into the vernacular.

“Pirates are loved by young and old alike, and our ‘interpretation’ of them as whimsical, mischievous scalawags resonates at any age,” Summers said.

He said actual historic pirates did lots of bad things, too.

“But we are celebrating mythology over history,” Summers said. “Remember, it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, not International Commit Felonies Like a Pirate Day.”
