This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Talk Like a Pirate Day Vocab-- Part 3: Ye Lubber!!!
Here are some advanced words to use:
BEAUTY: The best possible address for a woman. Always preceded with the word "me" as in 'C'mere, me beauty."
BILGE RAT: The bilge is the lowest level of a ship. It's loaded with ballast and very slimy, reeking water. A bilge rat, then, is a rat that lives in the worst place on a ship. Often used as an insult. So if a pirate calls you a bilge rat you should take offense if he means it.
LUBBER: Or land lubber. This is a seaman's version of a land lover. A lubber is someone who does not go to sea and stays on land. Also, consider it a bit of an insult if you get called this.
SMARTLY: Do something quickly.
