Pirate Facebook

My good friend Kelly told me about this “Facebook Secret” and I have to admit it’s hilarious AND I’m going to share it with you (in case you haven’t found it yet)…  Facebook has allowed a BETA language called English (Pirate) and it changes quite a bit of the Facebook text from standard English to Pirate “lingo”. 

Here are a few of the gems:

  • What be troublin’ ye?
  • Make yer mark
  • This be pleasin’ to me eye
  • 4 scallywags be enjoyin’ this
  • 1 grog fest sighted from the Crow’s Nest
  • Mates Y’might Know
  • Shinin’ treasures
  • Stash belowdecks
  • Thar be more

Here’s the “how to”:

Step 1:

First scroll all of the way down to the bottom of yer “Home Port”.
Find the “Facebook (c) 2009   English (US)”  link at the bottom, lower-left corner:

pirate-step-1

Click it!

Step 2:

Select English (Pirate) Beta from the popup list and click OKAY!

step2
That’s it!  Now ye be a Facebook pirate, Arghh!

Hope you have fun with it… I did.

  • I noticed this a while ago! It's a lot of fun, although it takes some getting used to to click the button that says "Divvy spoils t' all ye' mateys!" when I want to post on someone's wall!

    I've been using this little Easter egg for the past two years. Generally I find it very entertaining, but at times it can be confusing for myself and others. After I'd been using English (pirate) for about a year I forgot that facebook had this thing called a "wall". I kept talking about people writing on my "plank" and no one had any idea what I was talking about.
    However, I think the amusement benefits far exceed any confusion.
