Craic [krak] is a word in common usage in Ireland meaning fun , enjoyment , or good times, often in the context of drinking or music . It can also mean a person who is good company.

The word originally comes from the Anglo-Saxon word crack , used in the more archaic sense of "fun" (cf. "to crack a joke"). This was borrowed by later revisions to the Ulster-Scots dialect, and although incorrect, the 'Irish' spelling has recently been reborrowed into Hiberno-English through constant use in tabloid newspapers to denote a specifically (arguably stereotypical) Irish concept of "fun". Until the late 1980s this spelling was unknown in English: Barney Rush 's 1960s song "The Crack was Ninety in the Isle of Man " uses the older spelling.

Examples of use would be a reply to the question, "How was your evening?" such as "Aye, it was good craic," which could mean several things, but implies that the evening was enjoyable.
