Talk Like A Pirate Day

It’s today! And while not all languages have a dedicated pirate vocabulary, we’re all fascinated by these seamen. It’s a fun day and everyone seems to be talking about it. I first found out of it from John Cass of PR Communications. Through his post, I found out everything about this day.

What then caught my eye was Barbara Rozgonyi’s article on how the buzz around this day evolved in the last two years. I wonder how it will all evolve now that Google is joining in and Facebook is teaching us how to talk “pirate”. I’m sure Barbara’s search results will double in a few days!

Now, if you’re like me and can’t talk like a pirate with your friends, here are some other ideas to celebrate: invite your friends over and have a pirate themed party (this will require great event planning efforts :) ), watch some pirate themed movies or read something pirate related. Have fun!

    Thanks for the link, Alina! Various iterations of pirate talk are now trending in the top five twitter searches. Fun to watch the surge. What I like most about a celebration like this is: it’s easy and viral. Why not start your own day?

    My husband has been sooooo into Talk Like A Pirate Day since my daughter was a wee one (she’s now a teenager going on 30). I thought he was the only one on the planet who knew about this! He’s weird that way, LOL.

    Welcome back from that glorious vacation, BTW <3

    Barbara, you might be on to something! Starting a new day to celebrate might be quite easy, given it’s something really fun that lots of people can connect to.

    Robyn, that’s so cool, to celebrate such a day with your kids every year! Thanks, it was indeed glorious.
