The 19th of September is Talk Like a Pirate Day. All of you bilge rats, AAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH! On September 19, don't be shocked if you hear folks yelling "Ahoy Matie," "Avast," "Aye, Aye Capt'n," or "Land ho!" It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so use the word "hornpipe" and a variety of other pirate-related terms.

Ask if they have a chance for gold bullion when getting your coffee through the drive-through window. When requesting Moby Dick's whereabouts at the library, try practising your pirate jargon. In choppy waters, the pirate tongue always holds up well. Saying "I'm right or I'll walk the plank" can help you win a dispute.

The appropriate response is "Aye, aye, Capt'n" when your employer assigns you a new task. Be careful not to insult the boss, though. Avoid losing your job today is the day's objective. Practice a swagger, a limp, or a squint to refine your persona. Pirates have special traits due to their lengthy sea days.

HISTORY OF TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY

In 1995, two Oregonian friends who were playing racquetball playfully came up with the idea for Talk Like a Pirate Day. For a few years, they privately celebrated it while telling the joke to a select circle of friends. They requested Dave Barry, a humour columnist, to serve as the spokesperson for National Talk Like a Pirate Day in a letter one day in 2002. Barry agreed, finding the notion amusing. Talk Like a Pirate Day gained national attention because to his column about it, which also inspired a wave of activities and celebrations around the nation.

We continue to be fascinated with pirates thanks to films like Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates have existed in some form or another for hundreds of years and are often romanticised as tough outlaws in literature and film. Piracy was first documented in Asian waters after the fall of the Chinese Han dynasty in the second century, and it spread around the world as maritime technology and ocean trade developed following the discovery of the New World.

The "Golden Age of Piracy," as it is depicted in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," comes to mind when we think about pirates. The 1883 publication of the adventure book had a significant impact on the development of the pirate as a popular culture archetype. The elements that remain the foundation of any pirate-themed production include hidden riches, shoulder-perched parrots, and X-marked maps from "Treasure Island."

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride at Disneyland, which debuted in 1967, is still one of the park's most well-liked attractions. Pirates immerse guests in the highly detailed environment of a Caribbean port falling victim to theft. It was the last attraction Walt worked on before his death. Unfortunately, the majority of the amusing sayings we associate with pirates are made up entirely. But that needn't stop you from having a wonderful time with your buddies on this humorous holiday!
