International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a fun world-wide craze that falls on September 19. The day, which has been internationally recognized for ten years, has drawn a lot of fans and many are looking forward to celebrating as they go about their day talking like a pirate.
Everyone who walks into a participating Krispy Kreme donut shop will get a free glazed donut if they utter a pirate phrase on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Sept. 19. Those who take it a step further and wear a full pirate costume will get a dozen free glazed donuts.
For those who aren't quite sure how to talk like a pirate, some good phrases include: Ahoy Matey!,Aye Aye, Blow me down, Shiver me timbers, Heave ho!, Landlubber, Seadog, Thar she blows!, Yo Ho Ho! and of course, Arghh!
For those who want to go all out and dress up to get a dozen free glazed donuts, Krispy Kreme encourages customers to wear any three of the following; pirate hat, bandana, eye-patch, costume hook, pirate shirt, peg leg, parrot or pirate pants. While pirates often carry swords, Krispy Kreme notes that everyone should leave the weapons at home.
