Well it is that time of year again. In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day ….
Spare me the lame” arrgghs” and “shiver me timbers”. If you want to talk like a budhcad badeed (Somali for pirate) show some effort.
Or if you want to be old school, looking back to the 90s when the Straits of Malacca were a pirate hot spot, you could also try Bahasa Indonesian, which is a bit easier. “Tarik, kau penyakit kudis anjing” (according to Google) means “heave to, you scurvy dog.”
It is also the start of the Jewish New Year. So far, I haven’t figured out how to say Happy Rosh Hashanah in Somali.
