Ahoy, land lubbers! Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a day devoted to being silly and exploring a usually untapped english dialect. If you are looking for some simple pirate vocabulary to incorporate into your speech today, try:

Arrrr...

Aye!

Avast!

In honor of this holiday, and for a good laugh, request "pirate speak" when chatting with a librarian on our IM service!

special note: this day does not advocate any other pirate behavior like stealing, plundering, or pillaging
