In
Irish English and Scottish English, the word crack, which recently has increasingly come to be spelled craic, means "
fun,
enjoyment, abandonment, or lighthearted mischief; often in the context of
drinking or
music". In
Ireland, the spelling craic is now more common for this
sense of the word crack. This sense is also current in
North East England: in
Newcastle upon Tyne there is a
listings magazine called
The Crack. A related sense of crack, not restricted to Ireland, is "joke", as in crack a joke or wise-crack. Another sense of crack, found in
Scottish English, is "
news,
gossip", which influences the common Irish expression "What's the craic?" or "How's the craic?", meaning "how are you?", "how have you been?", or "have you any news?"
