Ahoy, me hearties! It's Talk Like a Pirate Day 🏴☠️
Ahoy there, cap'ns, land lubbers and scallywags! Well shiver me timbers, it be a most special day today. Hoist the mainsail and scrub those decks, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day!
If you haven't already guessed, Talk Like a Pirate Day is a day dedicated to, unsurprisingly… talking like a pirate! It started as a joke between friends way back in 1995, but really took off in 2002 and is now celebrated each year all over the seven seas. Arrrr.
Have ye noticed any pirate-speak anywhere yet today?
Will ye be partakin' in some swashbuckling? Or will we be forced to make ye walk the plank? ☠️

Ohhh pirates aboard this mighty ship today
Lol love it I always say to my grandkids, wouldn't it be good if we could find a real treasure chest at the beach. They are taking in by it. When I get my jewellery box out my grandson has always called it a treasure chest.

Welcome aboard, @Sandy_123! That sounds like fun. I've got such good memories of digging for treasure on the beach when I was little! 😁
