'Craic' is the Irish version of the English word 'crack' and means 'fun'. When used by Irish people it is usually given a faux-Erse spelling.

There are many different forms of craic, the highest of which is deserving of a capital C. The Craic, as we know it, is the purest form, and is in fact practised by very few people, even in Ireland. Its lesser but vastly more popular cousin is known to some as Mastercard craic, or Mastercraic, for short, but the superiority suggested by its name is unfounded. It is often identified with bhodrhans, Guinness, and thick woolen jumpers. Americans in particular are very fond of this parody of Craic, much to the chagrin of all true Good Men of Craic. It is well documented that women in general are No Craic.

Fake Irish spelling of "crack" meaning fun, news, gossip, banter etc. Used by plastic paddies and those ignorant of there own language. "Crack" or "crak" originates from middle English and has been used for centuries. The first known use in Ireland is in the 1950s, using the correct spelling "crack". "Craic" first appeared in the 1990s.
