In case you’re wondering how International Talk Like a Pirate Day got started, it all began during a game of raquetball, according to the Talk Like a Pirate website (link below), which is run by the two guys who founded Talk Like a Pirate day, John Baur and Mark Summers.
According to John (at least this bit is in his voice), “On this day, for reasons we still don’t quite understand, we started giving our encouragement in pirate slang. Mark suspects one of us might have been reaching for a low shot that, by pure chance, might have come off the wall at an unusually high rate of speed, and strained something best left unstrained. “Arrr!,” he might have said.”
The Talk Like a Pirate site is actually both fun and educational! For example, it offers a list of The Top 10 Pirate Pickup Lines, which include “Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?”, “Pardon me, but would ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?”, and, the #1 pirate pickup line, according to them, “Prepare to be boarded.”
