For example:
For example:
Person 1: Talk shit about me one time and I'll batter you - you hear me?
Person 2: Ooh, sorry roadman - I'm so scared - shiver me timbers!
Person 2: Ooh, sorry roadman - I'm so scared - shiver me timbers!

Get the shiver me timbers mug.What most people don't know is that the pirate saying "shiver me timbers" actually means to "brake the boat". You see timber is obviously wood. The word shiver is to break or split, also referring to a fragment or splinter. In other words "split my wood". This term would most likely be used in an attack from another pirate ship. It does not mean the following: getting laid, an exclamation of surprise, or that you are cold. However most people do use it as an exclamation of surprise.
