Alright! You've unearthed my hypocrisy. I can talk all "live and let live" when it comes to the word "craic" but I can't stand seeing the word "seisiun".

this is a fairly odd thread.

craic is used very commonly in ireland in every part of the country. good craic, bad craic, mad craic, any craic?, no craic, ur man's good craic, bit of craic, etc.

origin, smorigin, it's a word like arsegan, ludar, ludraman, clipe, clart, divil the hate...............

divil this for a game of toy soldiers.

not at all Steve,

merely pointing out that there are so many ridiculous Irish words/sayings, and even specific to different counties, that many of my Galway friends haven't a clue what i'm on about half the time. So debating the origin of "craic" or any word is slightly cat melodian.

At the end of the day, i agree with whoever started this thread because it does sound slightly weird when americans or other nationalites say phrases like "what's the craic?" in the same way as it sounds mad for an irish person to use phrases like "Oh my God, that's like so awesome", or "G'day mate", etc etc.

Heh. You'd be amazed how my name's been butchered over the years. I once got a letter addressed to "Mr. Flucker". Oh, my goodness! What in the world?? How in the world does "Sluder" morph into "Flucker"?

As for craic... I don't use the word. I have no interest in being targeted for "random" drug testing at work. :P

Not even when referring to that well-known and universal phenomenon, "plumber's crack," aka "builder's bum" or "Dagenham cleavage?" :)

Asking "Where's the good craic?" might get me in trouble, but I'm not too likely to ask "Where's the good plumber's crack?" :o

They sell extra long tee shirts for this very purpose. I would beg all plumbers to get some!

But how are they supposed to "get some" if the t-shirt prevents them from showing off their assets?
