Cracked

The true origin of the gaming term "cracked" had its origins from the game Apex Legends. In Apex, when you break an opponent's shield, an audible cracking noise occurs, indicating the opponent has about 100 health remaining. When Apex players would cross over to play Fortnite and play random squads, they would often shout during heated mid-game fights "He's cracked!" to indicted to teammates that the enemy has no shields, just like in Apex. The Fortnite players who did not play Apex, and were unfamiliar with the term, thought the player making the expression was giving a heat-of-the-moment complement that the opponent was very good. As time went on, more Fortnite players would start using the term "cracked" in this misunderstood context.
Player A: "He's cracked!!!"
Player B: "Yeah, that guy's pretty good."
Player A: "No, I cracked his shields!!! Don't any of you guys play Apex???"
Player B: "Sorry, all I play is Fortnite."

Crack

Basically, crack is silly, intentionally non-serious, and has a high tendency to be extremely crazy and unfounded, such as purposeful OOC-ness or playing on cliches, inside jokes, and/or fanon.

The term crack probably stems from crack as in crack cocaine, as opposed to a crack in a wall. As in, so horrendously unfounded/silly that only one could have come up with it while under the influence of crack.
Ed/Roze and Kagome/Kohaku are my secret crack pairings in the Fullmetal Alchemist and Inuyasha fandom.

Kagome/Sake, Inuyasha/Tessaiga, Inuyasha/Kagome's Seiraa Fuku, Shinidamachuu/Kikyou, Naraku/Kikyou's Ashes, and Jakotsu/Hairpin are also crack pairings - these are all from Inuyasha as well.
