/kræk/, Irish English

/kræk/

Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymon: Irish craic.

Etymology: < Irish craic (1968 or earlier) < English crack n. (see crack n. 5). Compare Scottish Gaelic craic, crac (1993 or earlier).The English word was apparently introduced from Scots into Irish English via Ulster in the mid 20th century and subsequently borrowed into Irish. Within Irish, the word was popularized by the phrase ‘beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn’, lit. ‘we will have music, chat and crack’, the catchphrase of the Irish-language television programme SBB ina Shuí, running from 1976–83. It is unclear whether Scottish Gaelic craic is < Irish or < Scots, and whether the use of the English form craic in Scotland is after Irish English or Scottish Gaelic.
