Craic / The Craic
Probably the mosty important word to learn before coming to Ireland is 'Craic' Pronounced 'crack'. It has nothing to do with narcotics! It simply means 'fun' :-)
You can say it many ways. Where is the craic? What was the craic like? Is there any craic? He/she/it's great craic! Master the use of this and you will be 'well in' with the locals wherever you travel in Ireland.
