“Aye matey!”
The joke “What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday? ‘Aye matey!'” is a play on words combining pirate lingo with a pun on the phrase “I’m eighty.” Pirates are stereotypically known for their distinctive way of speaking, often using phrases like “aye” to mean “yes” and addressing others as “matey,” a term for a friend or comrade. The humor arises from the phonetic similarity between “aye matey” and “I’m eighty,” making it sound as though the pirate is both affirming his age in a typical pirate manner and cleverly stating his age, “eighty,” using pirate vernacular.
