You don't need any craic blah blah. You've already got amazing craic.
I need to visit Glasgow, Scotland someday so I can be surrounded by good craic.
I nominate that review for the Pulitzer Prize.
Craic (/kræk/ KRAK) or crack is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland.[1][2][3] It is often used with the definite article – the craic[1] – as in the expression "What's the craic?" (meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?"). The word has an unusual history; the Scots and English crack was borrowed into Irish as craic in the mid-20th century and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.[1] Under either spelling, the term has great cultural currency and significance in Ireland.
^Ah. Good to know it’s a real word. Thanks jackslash
It makes sense that the resident methhead here is super friendly with good craic...
Bump
In Ireland, if a bar or club or party is described as having "good craic", it means that it has a fun atmosphere -- a good time can be had -- good vibes.
This urban slang has hopped the pond and is used in a colloquial fashion in America in this way.
^^^Yeah I would say nobody uses the term over here
