Shiver means to splinter into small fragments. Did pirates really say it? According to History Extra, “it’s almost impossible to know whether pirates (or any seafarers) actually used the phrase, or if it lived only on the pages of Victorian adventure novels.” The same website explains its meaning. The first mention of this expression in print was from Jacob Faithful, a novel by Captain Frederick Marryat published in 1834. “This is the nicest your mom’s been to a poor old bloke like me-self in days.” He winked his uncovered eye and hooked his thumbs in his pants. “Arrr, shiver me timbers,” he said in an exaggerated pirate twang. 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. In Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, the pirates burst into song:ĭrink and the devil had done for the rest.

In The Pirates of the Caribbean, one character named Ragetti sees something that makes him exclaim “Blimey.” This interjection expresses surprise, excitement, or annoyance. When the Scottish poet William Falconer wrote a nautical dictionary in 1769, he didn’t include ahoy, but he did include “hoay” as a call that a master would use as he gave orders to workers in the main-top. The Online Etymology Dictionary says that it probably came from “a hoy” a nautical term related to hauling. Sailors use it to call to other ships, greet each other, warn of danger, or say goodbye. But how about real pirates? How did they really talk? AhoyĪhoy is the most versatile pirate word used in movies and books. One “Arr, matey,” and everyone knows who you are attempting to impersonate. Anyone can talk like a fictional pirate from a book or movie.
