Follow these basic Pirate speak phrases

• Ahoy! - "Hello!"
• Ahoy, me hearties! - Equivalent of "Hello, my friends!"
• Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"
• Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."
• Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
• Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!
• Savvy - "Is that okay with you? Do you understand?"
• Weigh anchor! - "Let's go!"
