What’s the craic?
No, it’s not an illicit substance glamourized in the movies, craic is the Irish term for fun or good times. As promised this post is the first in what will be a weekly, possibly even more frequent, post about Irish culture. Craic in a sentence or phrase might be “What’s the craic?” or “How’s the craic?” when you want to ask someone if they’re having a good or how the pub scene is tonight. The Irish may also say things like “We had a crackin’ time last night” or “It was great craic.” I thought I would post about craic since I have been referring to it so much in my posts lately. So I have to keep this post short since it’s Friday and I need to find the craic. Cheers!
