Sea of Thieves Design Director, Gregg Mayles, has started another hashtag supported Twitter campaign. This time the campaign, #piratespeak, is for the shared world adventure game, Sea of Thieves. With the help of Mr. Mayles, by the end of #piratespeak you should be talking like the most seasoned pirate. The first few terms might not seem so difficult to you, but just you wait as you read deeper into the list! We will keep this post updated as #piratespeak progresses.

Ready yerselves for #SeaOfThieves by learning #piratespeak. First up: 'Ahoy' – a shout used to get someone's attention. Ahoy me hearties! — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 22, 2016

#piratespeak no. 2: 'Hawsehole' – A hole in the deck that the anchor passes through. Disappointingly nowhere near as rude as it sounds — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 23, 2016

#piratespeak no. 3: 'Blunderbuss' – Not a badly driven coach, but a short range gun with a flared barrel that fired shot, nails and glass — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 24, 2016

#piratespeak no 4: 'Hardtack' – Hard biscuits full of weevils. Much like those @keeyaaaa brings in for the #SeaOfThieves design discussions — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 25, 2016

#piratespeak no. 5: 'Powder Monkey' – A crew member who fetched powder for the cannons in a battle. Sometimes a boy, probably never a monkey — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 26, 2016

#piratespeak no. 6: 'Kill Devil' – Rum laced with gunpowder. If England go out of #EURO2016 today I might need some pic.twitter.com/kELrsKXgF3 — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 27, 2016

#piratespeak no. 7: 'Keel-Hauling' – A punishment involving being dragged under the ship. Useful for dealing with underperforming crews — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 27, 2016

#piratespeak no.8: 'Cat o' nine tails' – Whip with 9 lashes used for punishment. Nearly as awful as online cat memes pic.twitter.com/Xhi2eAV6Z5 — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 28, 2016

#piratespeak no.9: 'Bilge Rat' – Filthy rodent found at the bottom of the ship. Also @TheRealBeano's pirate name pic.twitter.com/2tTTsI9hFm — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 29, 2016

#piratespeak no.10: 'Futtock' – Curved strips of wood that form the ship's underside. Never get tired of saying that pic.twitter.com/FE4aAwWnn8 — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) June 30, 2016

#piratespeak no.11: 'Dance the hempen jig' – Pirates twitching when hung. Didn't mean streaming back then, either pic.twitter.com/zkcw6uDGMY — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) July 1, 2016

#piratespeak no 12: 'Scuttlebutt' – A wooden cask used to serve water. Nice contribution from @Chubby_Monkey pic.twitter.com/UyTltzKWYD — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) July 9, 2016

#piratespeak no.13: 'Scurvy' – Disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Idea for #SeaofThieves: daily vitamin tablets? pic.twitter.com/RgMap2GZKs — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) July 14, 2016

#piratespeak no.14: 'Picaroon' – Name for pirate of Spanish origin + Ice Hockey mascot. @residentveg wanted this one pic.twitter.com/FzsfuAn61K — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) July 14, 2016

#piratespeak no.15: 'Poop deck' – The aftermost and highest deck of a ship. Aft is at the back @JoeNeate1 pic.twitter.com/CAFSNnTPXG — Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy) July 16, 2016
