Do pirates say Arrr or Argh?
Pronounced also as “Yarrr!” and “Arg!”, the word “Arrr!” is traditionally said by pirates when responding "yes" or when expressing excitement.
Say 'aye' in place of yes, but don't say "nay" in place of no - not unless you want to talk like a pirate politician.
Ahoy – A pirate greeting or a way to get someone's attention, similar to “Hello” or “hey!”. Arrr, Arrgh, Yarr, Gar – Pirates slang used to emphasize a point. Avast – Pirate speak for pay attention.
Shanties are songs that were sung by sailors and pirates as they sailed the seven seas, intended to keep the men both entertained and motivated during their long spells at sea. The word shanty is sometimes spelled “chanty” as it is derived from the French word “chanter,” which means to sing.
ˈärg. variants or aargh or aaargh. used typically to express frustration, disappointment, anguish, or pain.
Wait, did pirates really say “arrrrr”? Probably not. Both that phrase and the accent that goes with it are strictly Hollywood. The pirate phrase “Arrrgh” appeared in film as early as 1934; a character also uses the phrase in a 1940 novel by Jeffrey Farnol.
Etymology. The term was popularized by a (fictional) pirate shanty in the novel Treasure Island (1883) by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) – see the quotation – but appears in earlier songs of sailors.
Captain Jack Sparrow was known to use the word "savvy" throughout his life. Savvy is a term used as a synonym for "wisdom" or "understanding". It is derived from the Portugese sabe ("knows") and the Latin sapere ("to be wise"). Savviness relates to practical understanding, shrewdness or intelligence.
Yea, they make a solemn oath to each other not to abscond, or conceal the least thing they find amongst the prey. If afterwards any one is found unfaithful, who has contravened the said oath, immediately he is separated and turned out of the society."
“Wherever we want to go, we'll go.”
How do I talk like a pirate?
All you have to do is talk in a deep, gravelly voice, grunt and growl a lot, use insults abundantly, yell “arr!” every now and then, mumble incoherently from all the rum you've drunk, slur your words, give up g's and v's in most words, and replace “you” and your“ with “ye” and “yer”.
matey (or mate)

So what does yo ho ho mean? Oxford Dictionaries define it as an archaic nautical term that seamen used while performing strenuous tasks such as hauling in heavy ropes.
Aye (or ay) – Aye was the standard way to say Yes for pirates. Becalmed – Becalmed was the circumstance that occured when a sailing vessel could not move due to a lack of wind. Bilged on her anchor – This unfortunate stated happened when a ship was pierced inadvertently by its own anchor. Blimey!
Matey. Matey is a diminutive form of mate. Pirates use it to address their friends and crew.
Ask people to imitate a pirate, and they instinctually adopt the “pirate accent” immortalized in film and television. This unique brogue is renowned for it's strong “r” sound, as in “yarrr” and “arrrrr.”
Ahoy, Me Hearties!
