*Just FIY: Craic is an Irish-English word, pronounced ‘crack’. It’s usually preceded by “the”. The craic means fun, or a good time, especially among a group of friends.
Ireland must be the only place in the world that looks forward to a hurricane just to see what the craic is with it ???????? #Ophelia — Peter (mufc) McGarry (@petermcg08) October 16, 2017
