Argh – A variant of arg, of which one usage is the interjection by pirates. It’s derived from English regional dialects adapted to portray Long John Silver by the actor Robert Newton, patron saint of Talk Like a Pirate, in the 1950s Walt Disney movie Treasure Island. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC_PR7YWQOc
