How to Talk Like a Pirate

Use "arr" as a multipurpose word. "Arr" can be used in a myriad of situations. You might shout "Arr!" to indicate agreement with a statement. Or you might yell "Arr!" if you stub your toe. "Arr" is a catch-all exclamation that you can use for most emotions, whether you feel joy, sorrow, anger, or fear.

Refer to yourself as "me," not "I." Pirates don't say "I." They always call themselves "me," even if this wouldn't be grammatically correct. Instead of saying, "I have a cold," for example, a pirate would say "Got me a case of the sniffles!"
Pirates also do not say "my." Don't say, "Look at my map." Instead, say, "Lookit me map." Swap "myself" for "meself."

    I like the pirate faire. Except the captain pirate made me look at his bird, then snuck and kissed me on the cheek. Last year when I took my mom to the Ren Faire, for the few minutes she lasted, I saw my friends in the encampment. And the same pirate captain was there, and he really made my moms day. And that made my day. Gotta love those pirates. <3
