Contary to some wire service reports Irish actor Colin Farrell was talking about the Craic not the crack at a recent BAFTA screening.<p>This definition from a website
local ireland <p>Craic (pronounced crack) is the unofficial catchphrase around the country for having a good time.<p>Not to be confused with the American slang for harmful narcotic substances, 'craic' or 'having the craic' pertains to people having fun, usually involving the pub, drink, music, loquacious nonsense or any social occasion involving liberal measures of all four. No-one is quite sure where it first originated from but one source could be as part of the well-known Irish expression 'ceol agus craic', meaning 'music and great times'.
