Irish Craic Explained
"Craic" (/kræk/ KRACK), or "crack", is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. Craic is a Gaelic word, with no exact English translation. The closest you get is “fun." No relation to the narcotic.
- Good craic: A fairly ok night out, fun but nothing too amazing
- Mighty craic: Better than good craic, not quite at the highest level, someone did some crazy stuff maybe.
- Savage craic: Almost there, great night all together, everyone on top firm, Guinness flowing, great jokes.
- Deadly craic: A step above savage but not quit the Everest moment.
- The craic was ninety: The nirvana of craic, everything was amazing, incredible, everyone hooked up, the pints were great.
- Minus craic: That’s when a night goes wrong and essentially you’d have had more fun in a mausoleum.
