craic

The Craic (Pronounced ‘crack’) – An Irish word with no direct translation in English. Means partying, enjoying the company of others, having a good time and a fair amount more.

One elder statesman of the London Irish community advised us that "Craic" is an acronym as follows;

Ceol(Music)
Rince(Dance)
Amhrain(Songs)
Inis Scealta(Storytelling)
Cainte(Gossip)
