1. craic
50 up, 60 down
Craic, Having fun, having a good time, the latest info on whats happening in your social circle. Saying whats the craic? is similar to saying whats up? The word craic seems to stem from Northern Ireland slang. But has branched out due to being picked up by tourists who have exported the term.
In a scenario where one was out at a nightclub and had a good time when queried on how good persay your night was you might reply it was great craic. You might then reply any craic last night yourself. Not to be confused with the habit of indulging in cocaine use although some people find this term funny to confuse people who are unaware of what having some craic means.

2. Craic
54 up, 43 down
Crack or craic is "fun, enjoyment, abandonment, or lighthearted mischief; often in the context of drinking or music".

This sense of the word crack is found in Irish English, Scottish English, and Geordie as well as Mackem in North East England.

In Ireland the spelling craic is now more common than crack. This spelling is also found in Scotland.

An older, related, more widespread, sense of crack is "joke", as in crack a joke or wise-crack.

Another sense of crack, found in Scottish English, is "news, gossip", which influences the common Irish expression "What's the crack?" or "How's the crack?", meaning "how are you?", "how have you been?", or "have you any news?"

The context involving 'news' and 'gossip' originated in English and Scots and came to Ireland through Ulster dialects of English and/or Scots, where the sense of 'fun' developed.

Early Irish citations from the Irish Independent relate to rural Ulster: from 1950, There was much good "crack"... in the edition of "Country Magazine" which covered Northern Ireland; or from 1955, the Duke pulled the bolt on the door of the piggery, and let Coogan's old sow out...The Duke had been sitting on top of Kelly's gate watching the crack.

It can frequently be found in the work of twentieth century Ulster writers such as Brian Friel (1980): You never saw such crack in your life, boys and Jennifer Johnston (1977): I'm sorry if I muscled in on Saturday. Did I spoil your crack?

In Newcastle upon Tyne there...
