Capn Bob Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 As the greatest holiday in the Whole Wide Worlde approaches us under billowing sails, it is time to ask the company...What's Yer Favorite Pyrate Phrase? Could be from literature, like, say..."Bring aft the rum, Darby!", or historical, like "A short life and a merry one!", or it could be one entirely made up. And as I be the bloke askin' this, it be only fiar, belike, that I be the first to toss out a phrase. Collect them all, and be the first on yer block to be the first on yer block. My fave is one I made up: "Scupper me hide!" Of course, working in a library as I do, sometimes I say "Scupper *yer* hide, ye bilge-breathed barnacle encrusted lubber, ye'd best be belayin' that loud gab or I'll be introducin' ye to the business end of me belayin' pin, scupper me hide if I don't!" And now it be your turn... Damn, thats sharp!
LordWilson Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 "Darby McGraw, fetch aft the rum!" is an all time favorite, as is "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" but nothing beats a coniving smile, a low chuckle and a good ol' "yaaarrr" Then you know an act of piracy is surely about to take place.
iPirate Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 "Time flies when you're having rum" that one just kills me but nothing gets me blood pumpin' like a good ole... "HOIST THE COLORS"!! Time flies when you're having rum
