Talk like a pirate day

September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Not only should
all posts be in Pirate, but discussions with photography clients and
other photographers should be in Pirate as well.

A model should be addressed as "Ye saucy wench" or, if the model is
male, as "Ye scurvy scum." Photographers with published work should be
addressed as "Cap'n," while photographers at your same level of
experience should be addressed as "Matey." Trolls should be addressed
using the most vile Pirate talk possible. People who do not have
cameras who claim to be experts on photography, for example, should be
addressed as "Landlubber."

Aye, though he may be only a landlubber and "dog," though it be an
insult, might be too affectionate. "Mutinous swine," "maggot," "squid"
and "urchin" are as good as grog at night on the North Sea.

Most cerrrtainly not!
A privateer, for example, a certain Sir Francis Drake, is often
a very honorable person.

A privateer basically outfits his own warship (with money from
respectable businessmen, who back him) and gets paid by taking
enemy ships as prises. A privateer is chartered by a government.
A pirate gone leggit, if you squint a bit.

A spammer, matey, now, that's the ******* master of a slave ship
who kills and tortures 'cargo' and crew for sport. Arrr.

A pirate who has sold out, lad. He sails for "the man."

Ye land lubber! A pirate has two eyes, good as yours, maybe better. The
patch, laddy, is so that one eye is used to the dark. Makes it easier
to see when you go below decks, me boy. When you are standin' by to
repel boarders, there be no time for an eye to adjust to the dark
below, so in battle we wears a patch over one eye. When we goes below,
we flips up the patch.

We squints to see long distances in the sun.

Seems to me you aaarr likely to get some disagreement on "squid"; for
some reason there aaarr a few misguided soles who claim squidity as a
virtue, much to be sought.
