Pirates, do they say "oooh-arrrr, me hearties" or "arrrr, me hearties"?

This is causing friction in the EB household.

I believe that the adition of the "oooh" makes the pirate, in fact, a farmer. Am I correct, or am I crazy?

It's not 'yargh'
The '-gh' ending is ridiculous, like the pirate was shouting and bit into something horrible at the same time.

Buh.

I think it was a drinking contest held in a boxing hall.

Must've been because I heard he gave his opponent a good stiff one in the ring...

Mine was off the top of my head, but i may well have heard it somewhere before and just forgotten where.
