Talk Like a Pirate Day Vocab-- Part 2: ARRR!!


Here's a quick primer for some words you can use:

AHOY!-- "Hello."
AVAST! "Stop and give attention." It can also mean a sense of surprise as in "Whoa, get a load of that!" AYE! "Yes." "I agree completely with you."

AYE, AYE! "I'll get right on that sir."
ARRR! Often confused with ARRGH, which, of course, is the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. Arr! can mean "yes," "I agree, "I'm happy," "My team is going to win it all," "I'm disappointed," or "That was a clever remark you or I just made." Also, many other things.

I plan to get by with a lot of Arrghs today.
