Know about ‘International Talk Like Pirate Day’.
Shivaksh Sharma
In June 1995 friends Mark Summers and John Baur were playing a game of racquetball when they randomly started chiding each other in “pirate slang” (the romanticized version of pirate speech that has grown from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and on-screen portrayals of pirates by actor Robert Newton, among other influences). The pair decided they would spend an entire day talking “like pirates” for fun.
So What is meant by pirate?.. Well, the person who robs or commits illegal violence at sea or in seashore areas is known as a pirate.
The date of the annual celebration—September 19—is fairly arbitrary. It is the date of Summers’s ex-wife’s birthday, selected because it didn’t coincide with any other observances and because it would be easy for him to remember. The holiday was mostly celebrated among friends for several years, until it was popularized by syndicated humor columnist Dave Barry in 2002.
On this day people speak in pirate language and enjoy this new slang with their friends. Western people enjoy this day by speaking a pirate language and doing some kind of naughty activities without harming any other.
