Talk like a pirate

I have a friend who is going on the Paris/Normandy trip next year.  She took French in college.  She bought some online program to refresh her ability to speak French.  Evidently the website can help you learn many languages. 

One of them is Pirate.

Today in national talk like a pirate day!
Here are some terms to help you make it through today as a joyful participant.

Avast ye=Pay attention
Hornswaggle=To cheat
Shiver me timbers=An expression used to show shock or disbelief
Head=Toilet on board the ship
Poop deck=Deck that is the highest and farthest back
Landlubber=A person who is not incredibly skilled at sea
Davy Jones' Locker=Refers to death
Ahoy, matey=Hello, friend
Batten down the hatches=A signal to prepare the ship for an upcoming storm
Blimey!=Something said when one is in a state of surprise
