Ahoy

Today is

International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Lucy's favourite day of the year. In honor of this occasion Sega (above) has shared his preferred vocabulary:

Go on the account: to embark on a piratical cruise
Keelhaul: a truly vicious punishment where a scurvy dog would be tied to a rope and dragged along the barnacle-encrusted bottom of a ship.
'They not be survivin this' a lol cat might rejoice.

Son of a Biscuit Eater: a derogatory term indicating a bastard son of a sailor.
Loaded to the Gunwales: drunk
Fiddlers Green: Pirate heaven
Scurvy dog
: a fine insult
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-yo-ho-(ho): Pirate laughter

...in a deep, throaty voice.

Enjoy.
