A Pirate’s Life

by Sally on September 15, 2010

A word from Pamela, Argosy’s trusted Pirate expert:

Ahoy there matey’s! 

Ok, I ask you; what is this fascination we have with Pirates?  I mean let’s face it. They’re rough and grizzly, fiercely loud (smelly) and most of all……..FUN!

Even before one Johnny D made a swagger, eyeliner and gold teeth shabby chic, we’ve held a soft spot for these scruffy yet loveable characters.

In addition to showing off your most unique and outlandish pirate style, there’s the equally important  lingo to parlay.

PIRATE *JARGON *101
(just a few to get you warmed up!)

AHOY – Hello!

AYE – I agree!

SHIVER ME TIMBERS! – An expression of shock or disbelief

LANDLUBBERS – Non sea-faring folk

SAVVY – Understood?

PARLAY – Communicate

Where does one go to practice said lingo you ask? Glad you asked. I’ll tell you: Aboard an Argosy Pirate ship on our Talk like a Pirate Day at Tillicum Village on Sunday, September 19th.  Your adventure starts at 11:30am, turning you back in a landlubber at 3:30pm.

Word to the Wise: Don’t be the one who wanted to go, who had the chance to go, but didn’t go.  Savvy?
