Earlier Steve Leyland muttered:

>The basics:

>Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There
>are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and
>you can find some of them on our links page.
>
>But if you just want a quick fix, a surface gloss, a "pirate patina," if
>you will, here are the five basic words that you cannot live without.
>Master them, and you can face Talk Like a Pirate Day with a smile on

>Ahoy! - "Hello!"
>
>Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise,
>"Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it
>out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"
>
>Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or
>did."
>
>Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
>
>Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the
>sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean,
>variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My
>team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!"
>and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a
>few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!
>
>Advanced pirate lingo; or On beyond "Aarrr!"
>
>Once you've mastered the basics, you're ready to start expanding your
>pirate vocabulary. Try these for starters
>
>Beauty - The best possible pirate address for a woman. Always preceded
>by "me," as in, "C'mere, me beauty," or even, "me buxom beauty," to one
>particularly well endowed. You'll be surprised how effective this
>
>is.
>
>Bilge rat
>
> - The bilge is the lowest level of the ship. It's loaded with ballast
>and slimy, reeking water. A bilge rat, then, is a rat that lives in the
>worst place on the ship. On TLAP Day - A lot of guy humor involves
>insulting your buddies to prove your friendship. It's important that
>everyone understand you are smarter, more powerful and much luckier with
>the wenches than they are. Since bilge rat is a pretty dirty thing to
>call someone, by all means use it on your friends.
>
>Bung hole - Victuals on a ship were stored in wooden casks. The stopper
>in the barrel is called the bung, and the hole is called the bung hole.
>That's all. It sounds a lot worse, doesn't it? On TLAP Day - When dinner
>is served you'll make quite an impression when you say, "Well, me
>hearties, let's see what crawled out of the bung hole." That statement
>will be instantly followed by the sound of people putting down their
>utensils and pushing themselves away from the table. Great! More for
>you!
>
>Grog - An alcoholic drink, usually rum diluted with water, but in this
>context you could use it to refer to any alcoholic beverage other than
>beer, and we aren't prepared to be picky about that, either. Call your
>beer grog if you want. We won't stop you! Water aboard ship was sto
