Travel Info He asked me, whats the craic, what does that mean? Travel Tips Examples of use would be a reply to the question, 'How was your evening?' such as 'Aye, it was good crack', meaning 'I had a good time'. A popular way to start a conversation on the Internet and texting is 'What's the craic/crack?' meaning 'Any news?' or 'Any gossip?' It is sometimes written as 'what's da craic?, which is sometimes abbreviated to 'wdc'. A person who is 'good crack' is fun to be with. Crack is, by default, positive: 'good crack', 'great crack', 'the crack was ninety' or 'the crack was mighty'. In Irish, 'Bh铆 craic againn' is 'We had a good time', and 'Bh铆 an-chraic againn' is 'We had a great time'. However, 'bad crack' is also used occasionally. The 'news' sense of crack is used in the singular in Hiberno-English, although originally Scots used the plural: Scots: 'Gie's your cracks. Whit's aw the news in the toun?' Hiberno-English / Mid-Ulster English: 'What's [or How's] the crack?' [Typical response: 'Nothing much.'] Irish: 'Cad 茅 an craic leat?' ['What's new with you?'] Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/craic... Other Travel Tips Irish slang yes that's means like what's up,how ya getting on stuff like that! The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. lol just means 'any news' or 'what's going on?' "what's the craic" means "how are you, any news"; that type of thing. "craic" by itself kind of means fun It does NOT mean what's up, hello, or anything like that. "Craic" is a Gaelic word for "fellowship, conversation, company, people to hang out with." If you're coming out of a pub, and someone going in asks, "How's the craic?" he wants to know how the scene inside is--is it happening, is it full of people, are those people in a good mood that will make for a fun evening? Is there a jam session about to happen? That sort of thing. He is NOT asking about your ***, in any way shape or form. ;) |
