Craic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Craic [krak] is a word in common usage in Ireland meaning fun, enjoyment, or good times, often in the context of drinking or music. It can also mean a person who is good company.

The word originally comes from the English word crack, used in the more archaic sense of "fun" (cf. "to crack a joke"). This was borrowed by later revisions to the Ulster-Scots dialect, and although incorrect, the 'Irish' spelling has recently been reborrowed into Hiberno-English through constant use in tabloid newspapers to denote a specifically (argueably stereotypical) Irish concept of "fun". Until the late 1980s this spelling was unknown in English: Barney Rush's 1960s song "The Crack was Ninety in the Isle of Man" uses the older spelling.

Examples of use would be a reply to the question, "How was your evening?" such as "Aye, it was good craic," which could mean several things, but implies that the evening was enjoyable. Craic is deliberately vague in its explanation, as it is used in several contexts, particularly and usually by Irish people, to convey or imply many different feelings or convictions. It is not used, however, evasively or to avoid giving information.

Craic can also be used in a negative sense, such as, "Oh, that's bad craic," meaning something negative that happened with intent. However, the positive usage of the word remains more prevalent.

There are also similarities to the Irish Gaelic word carraig, and the Scottish Gaelic word creag for "rock", which are both pronounced with a hard /k/ at the end. For example, the anglicization of this Irish term for "rock" is "carrick."
