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?
