Grab Your Eye Patch; Get That Wooden Leg Out of Your Dusty Closet and Free Polly From Her Cage …

Talk like a Pirate Day, is coming up, this September 19th.

Talk like a Pirate Day only comes once a year (on September 19th), this year it falls on a Monday. On talk like a pirate day, everyone talks as if they were a pirate. For instance, instead of saying something like this:

The committee has decided to reallocate your time to the filing group. We look forward to the exciting new synergies between these departments.

You would say this:

Aye matey, those scalawags in their fine breeches want ye' to move o'er with the scurvy dogs yonder. If ye' don't come back with some fine booty, we be keelhaulin' you next morn!

Couldn’t have said it better meself!
