Fifteen men on a dead cack-handed deck ape's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-ye-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to Davy Jones's locker,

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

T
take a caulk - To take a nap. On deck of a ship, between planks, was a thick caulk of black tar and rope to keep water from between decks. This term came about either because sailors who slept on deck ended up with black lines across their backs or simply because sailors laying down on deck were as horizontal as the caulk of the deck itself.

W
walk the plank - Perhaps more famous than historically practiced, walking the plank is the act of being forced off a ship by pirates as punishment or torture. The victim, usually blindfolded or with bound hands or both, is forced to walk along a plank laid over the ship’s side and fall into the water below. The concept first appeared in nineteenth century fiction, long after the great days of piracy. History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.
weigh anchor - To haul the anchor up; more generally, to leave port.
wench - A young woman or peasant girl,

yard - A long tapering spar slung to a mast to support and spread the head of a square sail,
lugsail, or lateen.
yardarm - The main arm across the mast which holds up the sail; Either end of a yard of a
square sail. The yardarm is a vulnerable target in combat, and is also a favorite place
from which to hang prisoners or enemies.
ye - You.
Yellow Jack - A yellow flag flown to indicate the presence of an illness, often yellow fever, aboard
a ship. Often the flag is used to trick pirates into avoiding potential targets.
yo-ho-ho - An exclamation associated with pirates.

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

Privateer - a privateer is a sailor with a letter of marque from a government. This letter “allows” the
sailor to plunder any ship of a given enemy nation. Technically a privateer was a self-employed
soldier paid only by what he plundered from an enemy. In this, a privateer was supposed to be above being tried for piracy. A privateer is theoretically a law-abiding combatant, and entitled to be treated as an honorable prisoner if captured. Most often, privateers were a higher class of criminal, though many turned plain pirate before all was said and done.

T
take a caulk - To take a nap. On deck of a ship, between planks, was a thick caulk of black tar and rope to keep water from between decks.

The victim, usually blindfolded or with bound hands or both, is forced to walk along a plank laid over the ship’s side and fall into the water below. The concept first appeared in nineteenth century fiction, long after the great days of piracy. History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

used to insult the abilities of one at sea.
lass - A way to address a younger female.
loaded to the gunwalls - To be drunk.
long clothes - A style of clothing best suited to land. A pirate, or any sailor,
doesn’t have the luxury of wearing anything loose that might get in the way

History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.

Fifteen men on a dead cack-handed deck ape's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-ye-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to Davy Jones's locker,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

T
take a caulk - To take a nap. On deck of a ship, between planks, was a thick caulk of black tar and rope to keep water from between decks. This term came about either because sailors who slept on deck ended up with black lines across their backs or simply because sailors laying down on deck were as horizontal as the caulk of the deck itself.

U

V

W
walk the plank - Perhaps more famous than historically practiced, walking the plank is the act of being forced off a ship by pirates as punishment or torture. The victim, usually blindfolded or with bound hands or both, is forced to walk along a plank laid over the ship’s side and fall into the water below.

History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.
weigh anchor - To haul the anchor up; more generally, to leave port.

a ship. Often the flag is used to trick pirates into avoiding potential targets.
yo-ho-ho - An exclamation associated with pirates.
yankee yo-ho-ho you your youth year years yard yards yes yaw yawing yell

I got both items and the achievement in an hour. XD
I just enjoy being a pirate, and continuing speaking like a pirate after the event, would be odd.

Not if you make a pirate mule XP If you come to my guild, we would more than welcome a pirate personality.. a guildmember who currently is infected with the RL Virus had spoken of crewing us all and runing away as a new pirate team

sounds like fun. :3

Fifteen men on a dead cack-handed deck ape's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-ye-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to Davy Jones's locker,

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

walk the plank - Perhaps more famous than historically practiced, walking the plank is the act of being forced off a ship by pirates as punishment or torture. The victim, usually blindfolded or with bound hands or both, is forced to walk along a plank laid over the ship’s side and fall into the water below. The concept first appeared in nineteenth century fiction, long after the great days of piracy. History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.
weigh anchor - To haul the anchor up; more generally, to leave port.

a ship. Often the flag is used to trick pirates into avoiding potential targets.

I got both items and the achievement in an hour. XD
I just enjoy being a pirate, and continuing speaking like a pirate after the event, would be odd.

Pirate Basics
Here are 5 words or phrases that no pirate can live without.
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!

Privateer - a privateer is a sailor with a letter of marque from a government. This letter “allows” the
sailor to plunder any ship of a given enemy nation. Technically a privateer was a self-employed
soldier paid only by what he plundered from an enemy. In this, a privateer was supposed to be above being tried for piracy. A privateer is theoretically a law-abiding combatant, and entitled to be treated as an honorable prisoner if captured. Most often, privateers were a higher class of criminal, though many turned plain pirate before all was said and done.

walk the plank - Perhaps more famous than historically practiced, walking the plank is the act of being forced off a ship by pirates as punishment or torture. The victim, usually blindfolded or with bound hands or both, is forced to walk along a plank laid over the ship’s side and fall into the water below. The concept first appeared in nineteenth century fiction, long after the great days of piracy. History suggests that this might have happened once that can be vaguely documented, but it is etched in the image of the pirates for its dastardly content.
