Wordy Shipmates

Wordy Shipmates is a collection of essays written by Sarah Vowell, but that's not what my title means today. First of all, today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day.


On this day of ARG! and Ha-har!, I ripped a sheet of my tear off calendar. Today's word of the day is obequitate, which means to ride about, such as on a horse. Yesterday's word was vagitus, the distressing cry of persons under surgical operations, and the days before's was swarble, to climb a straight tree on which there are no branches to help the ascent.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to swarble, me hearties, and to obequitate without falling off and later joining in the chorus of vagitus. Now can you use these three new words in a pirate voice? Har?
