1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Hey folks, Aaron here. I know we're only about halfway

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: through this season's exploration of pirates, but today is a

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: perfect reason for a special bonus episode. Why? Because it's

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: international talk like a pirate day. If you've ever watched

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: a pirate themed movie or Television Show, you might have

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: noticed one of the most distinctive features of the pirate

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: culture their speech. But, as everyone knows, there's more to

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: a cultural or regional dialect than a unique accent. There's

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: also the vocabulary itself. So today I want to pause

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: our journey across the high seas and focus on those

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: amazing words and phrases that are scattered throughout the history

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: of pirates. This episode is going to be a little

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: bit story and a little bit dictionary. Either way, the

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: information is guaranteed to be Quirky and fun. So if

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: you're ready, let's set sail. I'm Aaron Manky, and let's

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: learn to talk like a pirate. No one wants to

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: look like a land lover today, so I'm here to

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: help you navigate some fun words and phrases we've associated

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: with the rogues of the sea. After all, our season

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: on pirates wouldn't be complete without addressing the history behind

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: pirate lingo, from argue to hornswoggle. First, though, a little

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: history on how talk like a pirate day came to

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: be in the first place, because that's what we do

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: here at Grimm and mild. We talked about history. Friends

25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: John Bauer and mark summer started with some good natured

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: kidding as they played a game of racketball back on

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: June six the pair frequently found themselves saying are in

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: frustration whenever they missed a shot. Before long, they began

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: using other pirates speak during their games. They even adopted

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: pirate nicknames. Bauer became Old Chum Buckets, and summers called

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: himself captain slappy. The two had so much fun that

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: they decided to declare the day talk like a pirate day. Unfortunately,

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: that date was also D day. Out of respect for

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: the day that allied troops arrived at Normandy to fight

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany, the friends thought of shifting the day to

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: another date, September nine. It was a day with unusual

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: significance too. You see, it was the birthday of summer's

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: ex wife. He claimed that he harbored no ill will

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: toward her. In response, she declared that she had never

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: been more proud to be his ex. Bauer and Summers

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: promoted the day to everyone they knew, and as much

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: fun as friends and family had calling each other Scali

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: wags and laughing over words like cackle fruit, the idea

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: never really took off the way the men had hoped.

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: So in two thousand two the pair turned to humor

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: columnists Dave Berry for help. The idea delighted Barry and

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: he happily wrote about the holiday and the rest, as

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: they say, is history. Over the years the holiday has

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: attracted some unconventional fans with their own sense of humor.

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Henderson, a self proclaimed pastafarian who established the Corky

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, loved the idea of

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: talk like a pie day. He and fellow Postafarians had

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: joked that the lack of pirates caused global warming and

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: fully embraced celebrating the day. In two thousand twelve, Lake worth,

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Florida mayor, Pam Triolo, made a lighthearted request for her

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: constituents to embrace talk like a pirate day festivities, citing

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: that the city shared a few swashbuckling, high spirited traits

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: associated with pirates. Others didn't find her fun loving nature appropriate, though.

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: Joanne golden of former commissioner, claimed such an association with

60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: murderous seamen was highly offensive. Since Barry's post promoting the holiday,

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: talk like a Pirate Day has become an international success.

62
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: In two thousand thirteen, Michigan made the dates an official holiday.

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Even President Obama is said to have celebrated the holiday

64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: while at the White House, and it's even been celebrated

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: in space. During an interview, Summers claimed that the astronauts

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: aboard the International Space Station Awoke on the morning of

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: September nineteen to a pirate's life. For me, the crew

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: of astronauts spent the day adding a little pirate speak

69
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: to their vocabulary. Of course, the Internet is full of

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: translators and definitions, and facebook joined in on the festivities,

71
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: allowing users to change their profile to include pirates speak

72
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: for the day. There's even a song about the holiday

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: written by Pirate Fan Tom Smith. It's a fun day

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: for sure, but it might leave you wondering what specific

75
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: phrases and words really mean, and you might wonder if

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: pirates actually talked like pirates. Well, yes and no, but

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: for that we have to start in Hollywood. In nineteen

78
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: fifty an actor named Robert Newton played the pirate long

79
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: John Silver in the screen adaptation of Treasure Island. Four

80
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: years later he reprised that role in a film called

81
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Long John Silver. His use of exaggerated RS, as well

82
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: as having a talking parrot for a sidekick, became synonymous

83
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: with pirates in the public eye. Newton, you see, was

84
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: born in dorsets and began his acting career in London's

85
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: west end and brought a variation of his West country

86
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: accent to the screen where he portrayed pirates long John

87
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Silver and even later on, blackbeard. Many real pirates came

88
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: from working class England and Newton's accents may have actually

89
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: been reasonably close to how pirates spoke during the golden

90
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: age of piracy. The working class in the region often

91
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: replaced words like is and are with the word be

92
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: and said are in place of Yes. Other pirates, though,

93
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: hailed from Scotland and Ireland, which would have had their

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: own dialects. Linguists theorized that some pirate crews may have

95
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: created a variation on a couple of words to better

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: communicate with their diverse shipmates. It's speculative, since pirates didn't

97
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: keep a lot of records and we're mostly uneducated. Those

98
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: who could read and write probably wrote and spoke more

99
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: like traditional sailors and merchants. But historians and linguists agree

100
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: that few, if any, pirates used words that Newton portrayed

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: in his calls. So what's real pirates speak and what isn't?

102
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: When we envisioned pirates, we think of them raiding ships,

103
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: fighting with swords and other acts of violence. Did Pirates

104
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: say booty? Sure thing, this one is real, taken from

105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: medieval times in Germany, from a word that meant the

106
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: distribution or sharing of stolen goods in battle. We've often

107
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: heard the phrase give no quarter. It's the opposite of

108
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: what pirates called showing mercy or offering shelter in the

109
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: ship's living quarters. A Red Flag signified that no quarter

110
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: would be given and the hopes that the targeted crew

111
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: would simply surrender without a fight. And of course, we

112
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: can't talk about pirates without the word savvy and pirate lingo,

113
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: savvy is used to ask if someone understands what the

114
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: speaker said. Savvy dates back to and comes from the

115
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Portuguese word Sabe, meaning to know. And then, of course,

116
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: there's the famous dead men tell no tales. The phrases

117
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: pretty self explanatory. However, it's unclear if the words originated

118
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: with pirates or if they even said them at all. And,

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: as we know, pirates were often hanged for their crimes,

120
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: and there are a few terms for that punishment. In

121
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: a decade between seventeen sixteen and Seventeen Twenty six, they

122
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: referred to hanging as dancing the hemp and Jig, and

123
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: before that pirates simply called it the short drop. The

124
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: hempen halter refers to the noose usually made from hemp fibers.

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Jack Ketch is an English term referring to an executioner,

126
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: a nickname that was taken from an actual executioner, by

127
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: the way, who served under King Charles the second. Oh

128
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: and walking the plank seems to be the quintessential punishment

129
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: aboard pirate ships, doesn't it? But while it wasn't unheard of,

130
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: it also wasn't as common as we think. Hollywood has

131
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: played this one up. Pirates were honestly much more likely

132
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: to just Maroon someone as a form of punishment, which,

133
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: if I'm honest, really puts a new spin on that

134
00:07:50,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: classic old phrase, the Desert Island wish list. Of course,

135
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: when we think of pirates we also think of rum

136
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: and all those wild parties, and that's where we get

137
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the phrase clap of thunder. It's a particularly strong drink,

138
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: although the origin isn't known. Then there's the word Squiffy,

139
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: meaning someone who is really drunk. Following the same theme,

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: there's also three sheets to the wind, which has been

141
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: traced back to the mid nineteenth century. What about Yo

142
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Ho Ho? Sadly, pirates never said this. It comes from

143
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: a song in Robert Louis Stevenson's three novel treasure island.

144
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: In the book, the pirates sing about rum and a

145
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: dead man's chest. That chest, by the way, is an island,

146
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: not a treasure and while pirates singing Yo Ho Ho

147
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: is fictional, that island is real. Today it's called dead

148
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: chest island and it's located in the British Virgin Islands. Now,

149
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: folklore teaches us that Edward Teach, a k a blackbeard,

150
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Maroon to crew who attempted mutiny on dead chest island.

151
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: The Island is less than hospitable, with high clips, no

152
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: fresh water and the only wildlife consisting of Pelicans and snakes.

153
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I think it's clear why that would be quite the punishment.

154
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: In the story, blackbeard gave each man a cutlass and

155
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: a bottle of rum, and then he left, feeling certain

156
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: that the men would kill each other off. When he

157
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: returned a month later, though, he found them all alive.

158
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Now one of the most iconic words on talk like

159
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: a pirate day is going to be Ahoy. Oddly, the

160
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: greeting was once the preferred way to answer the phone,

161
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: thanks to Alexander Graham Bell. The word comes from the

162
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: Dutch word Hoy, which means hello. In fact, the word

163
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: was also commonly used in the fourteenth century to drive cattle.

164
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Sailors took to adding the A, creating the nautical term

165
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Ahoy as a means to get someone's attention. And speaking

166
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: of attention seeking, another word pirates and seafares used in

167
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the late seventeenth century was a vast, originally from the

168
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Dutch phrase cood vast, which means to stop or hold fast.

169
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: Pirate crews may have altered the phrase to fit their needs,

170
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: and a glance through any number of searches for pirate

171
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: lingo will will reveal shiver me timbers. Actor Robert Newton,

172
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: who he mentioned a bit ago, famously coined that Golden

173
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: Nugget of a term in his pirate film long John Silver.

174
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: What's it mean? Well, timbers refers to a ship's support frame.

175
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Shiver in this instance means to startle. but did pirates

176
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: really say shiver me timbers? While the term does have

177
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: its roots in nautical slang, the phrase itself seems to

178
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: be fictional. That's not to say that some pirates still

179
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: operational in the late eighteen hundreds didn't have a word

180
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: to describe surprise, frustration or disbelief. The word blind me,

181
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: for example, stems from the English phrase God blind me.

182
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Other Times they might have said scupper that, which was

183
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: to tell someone to toss an item overboard, literally or figuratively.

184
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: And earlier I mentioned the word hornswoggle. It means to

185
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: cheat or deceive. Oddly, the first time the words showed

186
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: up in written history was in the United States in

187
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty nine, over a century after the golden age

188
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: of piracy had come to an end. And how about

189
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: that old fan favorite, the word I? Linguists suggests that

190
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: it's a Scottish or middle English word. Meaning yes or

191
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I assent, and has origins dating back to the late

192
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds. It's likely that pirates and other mariners said

193
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: I and, of course, what fun is a specialized dictionary

194
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: without insults? And friend, let me tell you, pirates were

195
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: experts at using them. For example, pirates and other seafares

196
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: used the term bilge rat to identify vermin that lived

197
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: in the bilge, the lowest compartment on the ship, and

198
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: since pirates considered a bilge rat to be the lowest

199
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: form of life on board any ship, you can imagine

200
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: that calling a person a bill rat was definitely an insult.

201
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: The phrase scurvy dog isn't about a dog at all.

202
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Sailors were often referred to as dogs, which had connotations

203
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: of UH promiscuity, although scurvy was a disease many sailors

204
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: and pirates got from a lack of vitamin C. It

205
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: was also used to refer to someone without pride, without

206
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: strength or much enthusiasm. Other insults of notes are Pickaroon,

207
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: scally wag and rap scallion, which is another way of

208
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: saying that someone is a scoundrel. But pirates didn't just

209
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: have words to insult one another, calling someone. Bucko might

210
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: sound rough, but it was actually considered friendly. Lad and

211
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: lass were polite ways to address someone in their youth and,

212
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: of course, the most common of them all, mate Maydie,

213
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and me hardy's, which weren't insults at all, but instead

214
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: words of friendship and endearment. Let's wrap things up for

215
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: today with one more big concept that most of us

216
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: have heard of, Davy Jones Locker. In the Disney movie

217
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: pirates of the Caribbean, at world's end, we even see

218
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Captain Jack Sparrow spend months there on a beach with

219
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: no wind and no ocean. But did real pirates have

220
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: a Davy Jones locker? The legend first appeared during the

221
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: mid eighteenth century. That refers to a place at the

222
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: bottom of the sea where an evil spirit known as

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Davy Jones keeps the souls of deceased sailors in a locker.

224
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: And by Locker, of course, I'm in a chest like

225
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: a steamer trunk that you might find in a grandparents house,

226
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: kept at the foot of your bed. That chest can

227
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: sometimes be referred to as a foot locker. Now you know. Well,

228
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: that's it for our little detour today. We hope you've

229
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed our adventure into pirate lingo. Today we may not

230
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: have been swilling rum or sailing the high seas in

231
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: search of treasure, but we can embrace our inner pirate.

232
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Enjoy the rest of your international talk like a Pirate Day,

233
