it'll be bigger than electroclash!

the other morning, a friend said to me "Ahoy!". i think she meant to say "oi!" or some such, but it came out as "Ahoy!"... then it occured to me, pirate dialect is a shamefully underused set of slang waiting to mined and exploited.

which could lead to the next big thing:
pirate rapyes, i know, "horror rap" failed in the early 90's even though it

You haven't noticed yet that pirate fashion is in, full swing???
Fucking Morrissey wore a pirate shirt on the Craig Kilborn show when he performed. And the latest weird women's trend are these weird pirate pants that taper at the ankle with a big buckle or clasp, but the pants are at capri height.

very swashbuckler.

for proof just check in the women's department at H&M. I know for sure I saw that stuff there last time I was in there.

As for the pirate rap - you're on for something.

[hipstermafia]

onto something, even! ooof

i am the person who uttered the A-HOY that started this rant.

i went to h&m a week later and snapped those pants right up, yes i did.

i've been answering the phone "ahoy hoy" for years, but that's a simpsons reference and i think is more hawaiian than pirate.

yar...

i think we had a "talk like a pirate" day a month back or so. It was actually national "talk like apirate day". weird.

[darkadaptedeye]

hahaha. i know.

i think H&M is trying to work this whole peasant girl look but the big blousy shirts and the pants with the buckles are total pirate gear.

OMG. That sounds fabulous. *runs to H&M for pirate pants*

Update

[katestine]

They are no longer selling pirate pants at H&M on Fifth Ave. But they have 15 million varieties of peasant blouses. And a real pirate blouse.

And the staff is still rude.
